beetles

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

beetles

Post by pfshine »

I bought a 50 lb bag of cracked corn about a month ago and have kept it in a sterilite tub I just opened the tub and there was hundreds of small beetles in there. should I toss the whole thing or boil them in as protein? from now on Im gonna put it in airtight buckets with some dry ice to displace the oxy (thus negating the beetles).

the beetles lay eggs in the grain when they git just right they hatch,,cold/co2 others dont kill them ,it just keep them from hatching.as long as their eggs their protected.so even fumigating dont work.enough heat probably whould but dont know what that do to the grain.
