Understanding the Corn Weevil Threat
Corn weevils (Sitophilus zeamais) are a common pest that can cause significant damage to stored corn. These small beetles lay eggs inside corn kernels, leading to infestations and reduced grain quality. To effectively combat this threat, it is crucial to implement preventative measures and timely repairs to your farming equipment.

Preventing Corn Weevil Infestations
Prevention is always better than cure, and this holds true when it comes to corn weevil control. With our proactive approach, we can help you minimize the risk of infestations and protect your stored corn. Here are some key preventative measures:
- Regular inspection: It is essential to regularly inspect stored corn for signs of infestation, including holes, webs, or live adult weevils.
- Proper sanitation: Thoroughly clean storage bins and ensure they are free from debris, spilled grain, and dust, which can attract weevils.
- Aeration and temperature control: Maintaining proper airflow and temperature in storage areas can reduce the likelihood of weevil infestations.
- Proper packaging: Seal corn tightly in insect-resistant containers to prevent weevils from accessing the kernels.
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques: Implementing IPM strategies, such as using pheromone traps or food-grade diatomaceous earth, can help in monitoring and managing weevil populations.
Effective Corn Weevil Control Methods
If you encounter a corn weevil infestation, immediate action is crucial to prevent further damage. Our pest management experts at TSGC Inc. can offer you effective corn weevil control solutions to eradicate these pests:
- Fumigation: We utilize approved fumigants to treat infested storage areas, effectively killing the adult weevils and their eggs.
- Heat treatment: In cases where fumigation is not feasible, we offer heat treatment services that expose the infested corn to high temperatures, eliminating the weevils.
- Grain bin sealing: To prevent re-infestation, we ensure that storage bins are properly sealed after treatment, blocking the weevil's entry points.
- Monitoring and follow-up: We provide monitoring services to assess the success of our interventions and implement follow-up treatments, if necessary, to maintain weevil-free storage areas.
