I have had a problem with weevils on bird treats before and chucked them all out and antibacterial wiped the storage containers. Iv now found some in Storms bag of seed, never had problems before. Iv chucked it out. Gonna buy more later. How can I prevent this from re occurring? I buy his seed in big bulk bags to save money

Do you freeze your seeds? Freezing and air tight containers can help to kill any bugs that should not be on your seeds.
Have you maybe got them now living and multiplying in your house or are they positively coming in on the seeds you are buying? Once they have gotten into your home they can be a real pain to get rid of and you must be really vigilant to get rid of them as seed is not their only food source.
If they are coming in on the seeds you are buying maybe look for another place to source your bird food?
