Question: Where do the small brown beetles in my flour/wheat products come from!?

I opened a sort of old box of Cheerios to find it infested with small brown beetle-like bugs! We also have an air-tight container of all purpose flour and somehow those same small brown bugs got in!. How do they infest it like that!? How do I prevent this from happening!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:

They are called Weevils!. I'm not sure how to get rid of them!. BUT, to keep them out of our food, my mom used to keep all of our flour products in the freezer/refrigerator!. To this day, I keep all of my flour, bisquick, anything that is flour based in the freezer or fridge/wherever I have room!. You may just want an exterminator to come out to your house and do a general extermination and then keep your stuff cold!.!.!.!.
