Questions about weevil infested bird seed!
Sooo I refill my grandma’s bird feeders but I don’t buy the feed, my uncle does.
We keep it inside the metal bucket in the 4th picture, which stays outside, and it’s never had any bug problems.
Yesterday, I opened the bucket and saw weevils on the feed.
There wasn’t much left in the bucket so I just tossed the feed on the ground, around the bird feeders.
I washed out the bucket and let it dry overnight.
My uncle brought over a new bag of feed after I left, and he left it outside…
Now it’s infested with weevils!
I’ve read that people freeze the feed to kill the weevils but we don’t have freezer space for that…
My questions are:
Should I put the feed in the bucket and continue to use it to refill my grandma’s bird feeders?
Should I throw all of the feed out onto the ground?
Should I keep the bird feed inside from now on?
How can I prevent weevils from getting into the feed?
Thank you!! ❤️
