Read this before you start putting Diatomaceous Earth in with edible foods!!!
Diatomaceous earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diatomaceous Earth is used in gardening but it only works on soft bodied bugs. Like slugs and grubs etc. Wouldn't bother a weavil at all. Weavils are hard bodied.
The reason I use the Food Saver VACUUM sealer is it vacuums the air out of the bag and leaves only the food product. Resealing a mylar bag with an iron doesn't remove the air.
