Weavils or something else?
My breakfast cereals were alive on Sunday morning with miniscule bugs - like little black dots. They were even in my Lok'n'Lok tubs which had pancake mix in for the DDs so had managed to get in via the seals I presume.
They were lurking in the glued joints of unopened cereal boxes as well as in opened packets...
I've had weavils in the past in pasta/rice, but these little darlings are so tiny I'm not sure what they are.
Having ditched the crawling packets - birds had a field day y, and scrubbed out the cupboard, DD opened a new pack of cereal yesterday - and sealed it with one of those clippy things from Ikea.
I opened it this morning - and they don't seem to like porridge fortunately - to make my porridge, and they're there again.
So 1) what are they and 2) more importantly what's the best way to get rid of them - I'd already sprayed cleaner into the cupboard crevices on Sunday and left it to sit presuming that would drown the little critters, but that hasn't worked.
Any advice gratefully received. Will be sticking to boiled eggs for now for breakfast.
