  1. These little mites flourish in damp humid conditions.  Replace all your flour etc. and put in a clean dry Tupperware type containers.  Make sure when you wash out the cupboard (good idea before you put everything back) that you dry it off and leave the doors open for a couple of hours to air dry.


  2. definitely weevils. throw away all your grain/flour products, likely even unopened ones, wipe out your cupboards, and keep all your dry grain/flour products in sealed plastic containers or ziploc bags, preferably on shelves off of the floor. good luck!

  3. these are flour weevils.  THey have a nest in the cupboard, probably in the flour bag, an old box of cereal or cookies.  To get rid of them, find what boxes or bags they are in and trash them.  You must then keep flour in a large Ziploc bag in the refrigerator, never again the cupboard, same with other grain type products.  Wipe out the cupboard shelves with water and borax (a type of laundry soap that insects hate).  If you open a box of cereal and want to keep it in the cupboard, get the plastic containers that seal shut to keep it in.  Those bugs get into regular boxes.

  4. I have those to! I waste lots of money, but I securely close the box and hide it on top of the fridge and no more problem. They are really called beetles and they come where you mostly keep the foods. If you keep seeing those bugs, they are hiding under your carpet, between cracks in the walls, and under or on top of your bed. They come from outside. Check your doors for cracks and put ant killer there and it'll do the job. But don't leave bottles unclosed, because that will give them an easier way to stay in your house.

    Good Luck!

  5. I used to have that problem too.  Throw out everything that's opened.  Get yourself some glass jars with s***w-on lids and put your new "floury" products into the jars.  I also keep some things, in the original container, in the freezer if I don't use that product frequently.  

    Take everything out of your cupboards, and wipe the shelves off.  I don't know where these weevils hide, but it has to be in the cabinets somewhere.  

  6. girl u better do some serious deep clean-up. The last time I saw those it was back in my country 16 years ago

  7. I would suggest that you get rid of any thing that is already opened.

    And then check everything that you open from now on.  Eventually you will be rid of them.
