Weevil Control in Stored Grain
The Importance of Weevil Control in Stored Grain
Weevils can cause significant damage to stored grain, leading to enormous financial losses for businesses in the farming industry. TSGC Inc. understands the critical need for effective weevil control methods to protect your stored grain and maintain the highest quality produce for your customers.
Identifying Weevil Infestations
Before implementing any weevil control measures, it is essential to identify signs of infestation. Weevils are small beetles that have a distinct elongated snout and are often reddish-brown or black. Common signs of weevil presence in stored grain include:
- Presence of adult weevils
- Bored holes in grain kernels
- Weevil larvae or pupae in the grain
- Powdery residue or webbing around the infested area
- Unpleasant odor coming from the grain
Weevil Control Methods

The first line of defense against weevils is implementing proper grain storage techniques. TSGC Inc. offers expert advice on the following measures:
- Regular cleaning and proper maintenance of storage facilities
- Keeping grain moisture levels low

Heat treatment is an effective method to control weevils in stored grain. TSGC Inc. provides advanced heat treatment solutions that utilize controlled temperatures to eliminate weevil populations without compromising grain quality.
