What is best for Weevils in my kitchen

I recently discovered weevils in my kitchen. Sadly they were in almost every cabinet in my kitchen. They mainly nested underneath my stove and two cabinets. After spending two weeks taking everything out of my cabinets, vacuming, and cleaning, I have still seen a few come out. I had to destroy trim in my kitchen to get to their main nest. Before putting everyhing back and replacing the trim I want to use a product that will get to the eggs that i cannot reach or see to vacuum or clean. I also want a product that i can leave underneath the cabinets before I replace the trim. Then I have more peace of mind knowing that if any more come out or hatch they will have that there to take care of them or their eggs.

Answer:

Pantry pests such as weevils can usually be controlled by a thorough cleaning out of all infested products and scrubbing of the infested areas (pay special attention to cracks and crevices) and then applying a residual insecticide such as Cy-Kick Aerosol to the cracks and crevices and also an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol Point Source to the cabinets.  Unfortunately there is nothing that will affect the eggs in the way you have described, but the growth regulator will help stop the breeding process. It can take a couple of months to fully eradicate a pantry pest infestation.
