I discovered I have these rascals in a bin of sunflowers. Any suggestions? Can't seem to find anyone to fumigate. Can't buy phostoxin without a license anymore. Was told C02 works like phostoxin. Don't know how much I would need though or exactly how to go about using it. I know I could wait for -20 weather but they are sold and I need the storage space.

Does diatomaceous earth work on those?

I suppose a grain vac would be no good for the sunflower seeds?

Does diatomaceous earth work on those? We have used it on them before in wheat and it worked. |

Does diatomaceous earth work on those? I've gotten mixed answers on that. Zero tolerance at the elevator so can't have even one in sample. Tried a rotary screener which takes out about 90%. Might try grain vac after screener. Grain vacs are hard on sunflowers but do work if you keep them full. |
