Check Stored Grain For Signs of Insects
Stored grain insects cause damage and reduce value without control. Farmers should inspect bins for crusted spots on the surface and probe grain to assess temperature and insect activity. Extension entomologist Harold Gunderson notes infested grain heats, reaching around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with crusts from moisture.

Fumigation Advisories for Crusted Grain Insect Infestations
Guidance notes that if active infestation is found, fumigation is advised. Gunderson favors carbon tetrachloride or a carbon tetrachloride-ethylene dichloride mix. Fumigants are non explosive and less toxic to humans than many agents. Break crust, remove spoiled grain, then apply one gallon of fumigant per 100 cubic feet of grain below crust. Treat only crusted areas. surrounding grain remains below 65 degrees. It is safe to work over the grain during rapid application if done quickly. Fumigant volatility is limited by low air temperatures.
