Please help!I have bugs and i don't know what they are

Question

Today my daughter when to get some popcorn and there were some shiny really small bugs at the under the popcorn box then when I was clean out my cupboard I found them in my oatmeal then I read stuff and it said to through every thing away in the cupboard away so I did but that said if it was weevils and I dont think they were weevils beacuse the picture was up close so if you can help tell me what to do and show some pictures from afar so I know what they look like then tell me the name or just give me a sugustion

Answer 1

Check out this site.  It has drawings of the various cupboard bugs.  http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/home/e300...

I think you were right in cleaning out the cupboard and starting over.  Since my own bad experience with cupboard bugs, I keep my dry goods in sealed containers.  I also washed out my cupboards well, before I re-stocked everything.  Haven't had a problem since.

Answer 2

They probably are weavils and they just end up hatching. I keep my flour and stuff (anything from wheat)I'm not going to use for a while in my freezer to keep them from hatching.

Answer 3

My best guess would have been weevils especially since they were found in the pantry and in the oatmeal.  I would look through everything that is open.  They can be found in really old food and I know that there was a time when I just bought an item from the store and there were weevils in them.  Good luck and I hope you can find them!
