Once weevils get into sesame seeds or any other food, you cannot remove them.
Weevils are generally smaller than the seeds, so you could try sieving them through a strainer. But you'll still miss some adults, larva and eggs.
Another method might be to try floating them off in water, but that would only work if sesame seeds don't float. It would be intensive work, success is not guaranteed and the seeds would have to be dried.

# Procure the seeds from a clean, reliable source # Store the seeds in a clean area that is free from infestation # Store the seeds under cool and dry conditions # Store the seeds in containers impervious to insects # Do not plan store the seeds for prolonged periods. The longer the item sits around, the greater the chance of infestation Weevils can often already be in food products when you buy them, often hitching a ride as eggs or larva.
When I have sesame seed that are not going to be used for a while, I store them in the freezer. That also helps delay rancidity.
