You often see weevils wherever you see beetles. The only difference is that their mouth areas stick out. Like beetles, most weevils have hard, dark bodies, and are happy to eat the plants in your yard. Their larvae usually hide inside host plants and can cause a lot of damage. You can control weevils best when they're in the adult stage, since larvae are often hidden and protected. Here's how:

Weevils are part of the beetle family, which makes up 40% of the insect world. What makes them different? Weevils have long snouts. Otherwise, they have the same hard, dark bodies that beetles do, and go through the same sort of life stages. Examples are the black vine weevil, the boll weevil, and the grain weevil.
