bol weevils develop in old cereal!. I had them years ago and I contacted the cereal mfg!. who explained that they are relatively common when purchased from smaller stores who don't get the turnover of their inventory like the big chain stores do!. We stopped buying those products from our small neighborhood store, and never got them again!. I'd put all your cereal in plastic bags and dispose in your garbage!. Incidentally, the mfg!. gave us credit plus discount coupons to purchase new product!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
discard everything from the cabinets except canned goods!. completely wipe down and clean out the cabinets and silverware drawer!. remove any shelf paper or replace with new paper!.
i store my pancake mix, cake mix, brownie mixes, flour in the fridge or in the freezer!. For pasta, sugar, rice, etc!., I store those in an air tight plastic container!.
I think they aren't really "coming back" I think that you just didn't get rid of them good!. Keep trying!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Been there!. You have to throw out all the boxed stuff unless it is in a pouch!. They love anything with flour!. I would throw out all the cardboard boxes they lay eggs in them!. Empty all cabinets and drawers scrub them out!. Even silverware because they can fly!. Call a bug guy to come out and spray!.
Good luck they are a pain!. But im happy to say i'm now weevil free!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
