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. |
Thanks for the bit about the weevils...I was unaware of that.
Resealing a mylar bag after putting oxygen absorbers in it will remove the oxygen, and it will create a vacuum. Same effect as if you had used your vacuum sealer. Anything that removes the oxygen will create a vacuum.
