I've seen them in sealed bags too. That's just creepy imo

I doubt you could hear the sounds they make.

@@humanyoda I heard a crackling sound too. Trust me, they do make those noises in large numbers... and they grow very quickly.

same. the crackiling makes your skin crawl

Lol 😆😆

damnnn this is very underrated, man.

😂😂

Ricedent weevil

@@eefonix6274 Right on!!! Lmao!!!

Thanks for the information

Thank you because chemicals for this feels excessive.

Do you cover the container after putting the star and cloves in?

Tmi

@@thebolbiggity get some help, you seem like you need it

@@happydays5989 ok? enjoy ur bowl of bugs

@@thebolbiggity you need to learn how to read

same. lol. fortunately it seems they arent toxic or anything

THEY MAKE EVERYTHING SMELL OFF TOO, THEY LEAVE YOUR FOOD WITH A BAD SMELL, SO BAD ITS HARD TO EAT IT ONCE WEAVELS ARE IN YOUR FOOD.

First freeze it for a few days to kill weevils Then leave out for 3 days, the sudden warmth will make the eggs hatch The refreeze for another three days and that kill the hatched babies Then remove from freezer and let thaw for a few days Never ever pack with oxygen absorber until you know all moisture from freezer is out or else it will cause mold

freeze first then dry then mylar right?

But i dont wanna eat those dead eggs 😢even if they were frozen before. Omg i gotten so paranoid about this

​@@alexzajickova605Then avoid any and all grains (rice, corn, wheat, barley, etc.) and all pasta products. Also avoid any and all fruits and vegetables since those have also most likely been in contact with other insects. Avoid all meats and fish for the same reason, even though freezing and cooking will kill any parasites. Oh and avoid drinking water, juices, milk. Red coloring (carmine) is made from crushed up insects so avoid red foods or makeup products.

@@drolretsam497 haha So basically avoid everything lol? But yeah i know about carmine, to my surprise Its often in strawberry milk or yogurts but some dont have it. I Guess Its fine though as long as i wash the rice properly before cooking

I can only guess how disturbed you'd feel if you knew how much feces from other pest is "acceptable" in our foods.

@@clockcycle Ironically, that doesn't seem to disturb me as much. I guess because the microscopic faeces can't come to life in my stomach. If I can't see them or taste them, I might die or get I'll from them but atleast I won't freak out as much.

@@G.DD3SS they'll get filtered when you clean the rice and would all pretty much die when you cook them, even if you manage to eat a life one accidentally rice weevils are actually harmless to your body

I have a lot of rice and took bags to the bathtub, stayed up for hours while my wife and son slept. every time they would come to the top and climb up to the top of the bag, i would tap the bag and have them fall into a container. When I had a bunch, I would tap it into the toilet and flush after a while. I did this for hours. I vacuumed and wiped-out cupboards and drawers, spent the following day throwing some food items and transferred good items to zip-lock bags. Instead of throwing out the rice though, I put it in a pot with a lid, into the oven at the suggested 180F for 15 minutes , I dunno which website wrote that info but still on my stove-top, with the lid still on, a weevil crawled up to the top of the rice. Well, I put it in at 300F for 30 minutes. I think because I had a large quantity of rice in my biggest pot, the heat didn't reach the center, the first time. I don't have a method for easily separating the dead weevils from the rice, there's so many, I just plan on rinsing them out as I use the rice. They are so small and seem like clean-ish and harmless bugs, compared to what I hear about cockroaches, dirty cockroaches who shi* everywhere. But here I am. a day after the big-clean. Woke up and killed 3 more rice weebles. I am not too worried, I killed hundreds the day before. Maybe thousands...

I don't really care as long as they aren't pathogenic or toxic

Two? The most I've found is twelve.

@@_zenith_139 That was just in my plate, and just the beginning. It has been a year since and they now own the house. We pay them rent. I don't eat without their permission. They sleep in my bed and make me wash their dishes. More seriously, though, it got really bad and then kind of okay and has stayed that way since the start of this year but no matter what we try they come back

Yes this is very helpfull

awww they like you

If you have a deep freezer with space, keep it in the freezer. Scoop portions into a smaller container to use for a month or so at a time. I had an issue with them in a bag and everything I've scooped out of the freezer has been fine, they haven't come back from eggs or anything, I just have to wash before use. Future bags will spend some time in the freezer immediately before use to see if that does it without keeping them in it for good.

I never had issues before, but this year, I’m getting full blown weevil infestation in my rice bags from Costco! I mainly just wash them out the best I can along with all the arsenic from the rice. Multiple washes! There are usually bugs or a bit of bugs in most things we eat. It is difficult to avoid completely. Extra protein I guess🥴.

The rice I just bought from Costco is completely infected. Can I return it? It was a huge bag and cost $12.

@@JanetKFish so long as you have more than half the bag still full, they'll take it back.

I think those are bed bugs

Same, it’s getting seriously out of hand and I’m so used to it I just squash them between my own fingers and I find it so nasty I need to change that asap

Yesss! Same here. I’m sick of it!

@@deeptisharma2297 No they are rice weevils they look nothing like bed bugs and they don't bite

What kind of Chilis? Can I use habanero?

@@freds.8775 Well I usually use dried Kashmiri red peppers or Sichuan red chillies, simply because they’re the most common and convenient to get here in SEA. I think dried habanero works too, as long as it’s on the spicy side & dried as you don’t want the chillies to start rotting in your rice storage. So just use whichever is the most convenient to you :) P/S: btw I heard that bay leaves work too but I’ve never tried that before

Use Bay leaves

I won't recommend eating weevil unless you're desperate... Really desperate. Who knows how much weevil shit you're shoveling in your mouth

@@kakerake6018 eating weevils will literally do nothing to you on top of that, how much bug poop do you think we eat, bug and food go hand in hand. I think we eat like 6 spiders a year.

What temperature?

Low temp, 300... Broil in oven.. Toss em around every 3 minutes

@@mainmotto thank you sir

It’s ok even if you accidentally eat a few weebles. No harm.

This works but again, those mfs can be living in the grains.

@@justicecardenas3384 In the grains...Oh no.

@@justicecardenas3384 "those mfs", 🤣

If they aren’t adults you can put the rice/flour/etc in the freezer. Even if they are in the grains they usually die when you cook or bake or boil them (if the freezer didn’t kill them already), and as gross as it sound they aren’t harmful if you accidentally eat them and are so so small they won’t effect the taste of your food.

@@CutieYoli thank you♥️

That’s what I do. I store rice, flour, etc in the freezer until I’m ready to cook with it ... haven’t had any problems.

This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

@@faithevolution552 I leave the beans/rice in their original bags and then put them in freezer bags on the shelf. I can put 3 2lb bags in 1 freezer bag. Freezer bags are reusable to save money..

@@sumerbc7409 I love this idea. I usually cook one cup or two cups of rice at a time. I think I'll divide my rice into one cup portions and put them into sandwich bags and into the freezer. You're brilliant idea will save me lots aggrivation, time, and money. Thank you!

@@sumerbc7409 What if they are already in the rice.

@@_Seagie been doing it for years,works great

@@nature1960 I'll try it. Thanks

Freeze? As in like feeezer or refrigerator?

@@SriSri-ei1yi freezer then take out and let it sit I then store in air tight container. I use mason jars

@@SriSri-ei1yi If you want to freeze something you put it in the freezer. no?

No worries, they doesn't feed on furniture. Just clean the cabinet thoroughly with any bug/insect killer .

Sorry you wasted money. Next time check out YT before throwing out. There’s always a solution. Blessings.

I only buy th expensive Basmati rice in the oriental stores , now I have an infestation .

My cats had a water fountain. I went to change out the water…I saw a ton floating inside by the filter! I also would find one floating in their water dish. I’ve found them hardened in my scented wax burner. I’ve found one crawling on my arm, in bed! I realized they had to be pantry bugs, when an hour ago…I saw hundreds in the pancake mix!Some still moving. My heebies have now been freaking jeebied! After researching, I am going to buy huge trash bags, throwing everything out that wasn’t properly sealed, wiping everything down with vinegar/lemon essential oil. A woman said she was saved once someone told her to do this: Sprinkle pepper, dried bay leaves, & cloves in pantry where food will be stored. She hasn’t had an issue since. I heard sprinkled cinnamon works for other bugs. I do have many items in sealed containers, but not everything. I am so creeped out just thinking about what I’ll see as I pull unsealed items out….I think I’ll refrain from being nosy/inspecting it & just toss it in the trash bag 😂

won't that just flavor the rice for the weevils to enjoy even more?

Bay Leaves didn't work for me. It's been in the rice for many months. The weevils are growing healthily. I don't want chemicals so dunno if the spray explained by the author is appropriate. I haven't tried Garlic. How do I use Garlic...just drop in the bag of rice? Do I peel it first?

@@_Seagie 🤣

@@Flomaria08 freeze the rice for 48 hours. End of weevils, end of story

@@_Seagie ok...gonna try it. Thanks

Hi any updates and you methods yet

@@36Atoli I have checked, but it's only been a few months at this time. No signs of Weevils to date. Thanks for your question, I'm sure others have this same question. .

Hi not true

@@sheepseven7588 Have you tried it???? What results have you had???? I did this about one year ago and so far it has worked. No bugs. .

@@DD-uf2uo another thing you can do of you have live weevil is place a bowl of rice (about 4-5 kg) surrounded by another bowl of hot water. They would start to come out instantly. Or, place the rice under the sun for 4-5 hours. Problem solved!

Could be due to temperature in that area.

😂😂😂

Ew

Yummy, we're eating weevils for dinner

If they cant access good within 45 days yes

Yes

Adult rice weevils are capable of penetrating through food packaging and can invade through very small gaps in box folds. You can always inspect packages for any holes, and if a package is see-through, you can move the product around and see if there are any weevils inside. However if you're dealing with a large infestation we do recommend you throw away such packaged foods before you start cleaning/treatment in order to ensure total elimination.

takes too much space to store in the freezer but I do freeze them for 2 days before storing

In the deep freezer

Hi Justin, that's understandable. Weevils are safe to eat... just most people don't want to think about eating bugs in their rice! You can put the bag of a rice in a freezer overnight -- this will kill the weevils while leaving the rice unharmed. Then you can cook the rice normally if you want.

Either rice with loads of pesticide laden, or naturally and unavoidably have some weevils eggs. Choose one

To be fair, the weevils don't mind whether the rice is cheap or expensive. lol

No. Just wash them off.before you cook
