How do you control the boll weevil?

Answer 1

Boll weevils are now considered (eradicated) in most of Georgia. Traditional boll weevil controls included diapause control (sprays and stalk destruction immediately after harvest to prevent weevils from entering diapause), insecticide application at pin-head square stage (to reduce populations of overwintered weevils prior to oviposition), and four to five mid and late season insecticide applications at 3 to 5 day intervals, beginning as early as the first bloom.

Answer 2

Cleaning with vinegar; keeping temperatures cooler; tight-lidding supplies of flour, rice, and oats; and vacuuming crumbs and spills are home remedies for eliminating boll weevils. The beetles in question (Anthonomus grandis) do not tolerate cold or refrigeration but do relish spilled grains and untidy surfaces.
