Keep Wheat Pest-Free: Farmer's Proven Storage Hacks for Your Home

• Weevils infest wheat due to moisture, hollowing grains; sun-dry infested wheat for 2-3 hours to kill pests and eggs.
• Use dried neem leaves, bay leaves, or cloves in storage containers to repel weevils with their strong aroma.
• Always store completely dry wheat in airtight steel or plastic containers in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture.
• Place salt (tied in a small cloth) in the container to absorb moisture, reducing chances of pest growth.
• Check stored grain every 15-20 days; if moisture or pests are found, immediately re-dry in the sun for long-term safety.
