Freeze or Heat

Freeze rice for 4 days or heat it to 140°F (60°C) for 15 minutes to kill bugs and their eggs, ensuring a bug-free storage.

Use Natural Repellents

Bay leaves, cloves, and garlic can repel bugs with their strong scent. Place them in containers or storage areas to keep bugs away naturally.

Proper Storage

Store rice in airtight containers made of glass, metal, or thick plastic to prevent moisture and bugs from entering. Label and date containers for easy identification.

Yellow Sticky Traps

Use sticky traps to capture bugs and monitor infestation levels. Place them near storage areas or in pantries to catch bugs before they spread.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth can dehydrate and kill bugs by damaging their exoskeletons. Sprinkle it in storage areas or containers, but avoid inhaling it yourself.
