  2. Neem leaves: <\/b>Neem leaves can be put inside loose flour in containers that are more prone to contamination.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Cloves:<\/b> Cloves have a strong aroma that weevils find unpleasant. You can add whole cloves or ground cloves to your flour to repel weevils.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Black Pepper:<\/b> Another useful tip is to keep small bags of black pepper in your pantry, as weevils also dislike the scent of this spice.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Cinnamon sticks:<\/b> Cinnamon sticks have a strong odor that weevils dislike. Place a few cinnamon sticks in your flour container or bag to help prevent weevils from infesting it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Salt: <\/b>Salt is a natural insecticide that can be used to repel weevils. Take a small cotton cloth & add a teaspoon of salt to your flour container or small tea bag to help keep weevils away.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Garlic:<\/b> Garlic has a strong odor that weevils find unpleasant. You can add garlic cloves or garlic powder to your flour to help prevent weevils from infesting it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Peppermint oil: <\/b>Peppermint oil has a strong aroma that weevils dislike. Add a few drops of peppermint oil to your flour container or bag to repel weevils.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
