Subject: Grain pests


Seneca Kansas 66538
We have had to pick up a lot of corn this year that was blown flat from wind. A lot of it went into the bin wet/ too wet actually. Been running fans non stop but I noticed some little red bugs (I call them weevil but not positive on that) crawling around on the bin roof. Normally I spray the bins out but didn't get around to it this year. Are these bugs just coming in the grain being picked up off the ground? I cant feel any hot spots although its not cold but cool. I know most places have a great crop but we had the drought and then the wind, now bugs in the grain. Any thoughts to deal with these buggers? My dad always said if you notice a few bugs turn the fans on because they don't like air movement. Anyone ever notice that running the fans make the bug move out?
