Prevention of Weevil Infestation in Flour Bins
Entomologist Manis of the University of Idaho advises that preventing entry of weevils into flour is the best control. Clean bins with hot soapy water every four to five months and discard all material if large infestations occur. If few weevils are present, sift and heat the flour to 170 degrees to kill eggs, though risk of scorching remains.
