Boll weevils primarily feed on cotton plants, specifically targeting the cotton bolls, flowers, and leaves. They can also affect other crops in the mallow family, such as okra and hibiscus, but their main impact is on cotton production. The larvae of boll weevils develop inside the cotton bolls, causing significant damage and reducing yield.
Boll weevils are native to Central America and migrated to the United States in the late 19th century. They were accidentally introduced to the United States through imported cotton from Mexico.

To effectively kill boll weevils in the home, you can use insecticides containing pyrethroids or carbaryl, which are commonly found in household pest control sprays.

Additionally, consider using diatomaceous earth as a natural alternative, applying it in areas where boll weevils are present. Regular cleaning and sealing entry points can help prevent future infestations.
