Re: Evil weevils
BUMP 
We've been seeing a couple of moth-like creatures flying around the house/kitchen lately. They're silverish, and about 1 cm in length. I just noticed there were two in the kitchen cabinet where we keep the bread flour (as well as lots of spices), so I'm thinking this may be the source of the critters. A bit of googling suggests the flour moth, though the ones we have seem more silverish/whitish than the pics I see on the web?
Any thoughts on identification/course of action?

Re: Evil weevils
IIRC the inspiration for the original thread title was a robot of the same name that appeared in Robot Wars.

No, the 'pest' in question is flying around the house.
We've cleared out and cleaned the cabinet this morning. We'll see how it goes.

Ten hits for weevils
I remembered we had this thread, but I myself was surprised how old it was. I think the title helped in making it memorable.

In a forum I know you get an instant ban for bumping a thread over 3 years old. for 7 years I'd say we beat them with a rubber thing and then ban em

Re: Evil weevils
Or we do what I did to the weevils in the OP - sit them in their air-tight container outside the back door and wait to see how long it takes them to die.

Re: Evil weevils
Why worry, they are just extra protein?

I have no problem eating the things. I just don't like them flying around the house.

We probably made some of the larvae into a new loaf just now.
