What is the life span of a wheat weevil?
The weevil count is still high. I investigated one of my taped up holes. Some are still getting through, so I need to perfect my seal; however, there were several stuck under the tape, so I know that this hole was one of the access points.
HOWEVER.
There are still lots of weevils elsewhere: Greg's bathroom, the living room . . . and I know these suckers don't move that quickly, so there have to be other holes.
And of course there are other holes. My house is full of them.
I'd rather not go the chemical route and spray the Raid.
Anyone know a nice low-chemical spray for bugs?
Posted by Ally at December 12, 2007 11:11 AMBuy a tube or two of silicone and caulk the shit out of everything. Do all the baseboards, top and bottom, and around all your cabinets. It kept my apartment free of those scary feather bug things that you hate, in an building infested with them. I also had a landlord who fixed EVERYTHING with silicone.

Or maybe that's dogs
The point is, get Greg to pee all over your house, that should do it
Posted by: Travis at December 12, 2007 10:44 PMHmm, Greg's pee is potent enough sitting in the bowl of his toilet - no thanks.
As for the silicone, I'm now convinced that the majority are coming through the radiators, which means I can't caulk those.
