How do weevils get into flour?

In: Cleaning, Beetles [Edit categories]

Answer:

They get into the flour because that is what they eat. If you cook the flour in an oven the heat will probably kill the weevils but they will have already had eggs. If they are dead it is safe to eat them because they have not been known to cause human deaths or diseases. Hope I answered your question. Chao!
