Iowa State College entomologist George Decker warns weevils and other grain-boring insects damage stored corn and small grains. Infestation often starts after storage due to unclean facilities, mixing new with old grain, and storing grain with ground feeds. He urges thorough granary cleaning, timely kerosene spray in crevices, and separating ground feeds. When infestation is present, fumigation is considered only in warm conditions and with expert guidance from agents or extension services.
