Remove everything in the pantry, including plastic and cardboard containers. These critters can bore through almost anything except glass. Throw everything away that the weevils could have entered. Clean the pantry very carefully, including all dust that might harbor the insects or eggs. Wipe down the pantry with white vinegar. When you purchase new products, store them in the freezer.

First, ensure that your products are properly sealed. this will mean a through cleaing of all cabinets and placing all food items in sealed bags or containers. Heat and cold are known to kill grain weevils, but the only thing that will work in your cabinets is chemicals with pyrethrin listed on the label.

First, you will have to dump all your food that is affected. Then, the next best thing to do is vacuum seal your unused grains and keep your grains that are being used in a jar container that is airtight.
