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).

most grocery stores have it here so pretty easy to get. What do you think toss or run?

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.
