Where Do Weevils Live?

Strawberry root weevil (Otiorhynchus ovatus) is the most common home-invading weevil in Minnesota. You may find these weevils indoors from the end of June through August. They are attracted to moisture and are often found in sinks, bathtubs, water basins and similar places.

Where can weevils be found?

Weevils usually infest grains and starches like rice, flour, pasta, and cereals. Weevil infestations that start outside may be the result of fruit trees or gardens, which are also food sources. The insects often gather on the sides of homes and move into cracks and gaps that lead inside.

Do weevils live in beds?

Weevils are also known as flour bugs because they love to eat flour. They also infest in rice, oatmeal, wheat, and whole grains. They can live in almost any part of your house, from your kitchen to your pantry and yes, even your bedroom.
