How do you get rid of weevils?
Is there something natural I can use to help prevent them? I don't have enough sealing containers to store all my starchy foods in. Thanks.

Washing the shelves off with soap and water, paying attention to the corners and edges, will get rid of those.
Bay leaves are good to put on the shelves.
So are
dill
cinnamon
peppermint extract
and black pepper to keep them out.
I use coffee containers and bowls from the dollar store and garage sales. You can use jars.

I have been reading about the weevils.
This is what I found.
