I pride myself on keeping a very clean house but now have a terrible weevil infestation. It is so gross. The grubs just won't go away. The pantry has been emptied, contaminated food thrown away, the pantry has also been scrubbed down with vinegar and sprayed with insecticide but the grubs still reappear which seems like from thin air. Please help! My kitchen is now upside down as I'm not returning food to the pantry unless I'm sure they are all gone. Any suggestions would be great.

take out the shelves and spray and wipe along the edges that you wouldn't see normally. Go through all the food again, make sure everything is stored in air tight containers, even stuff that's in its original packaging.
It's bloody annoying and can take a few goes. But if everything is in genuinely airtight containers at least if you've missed something it's 'contained'
I found some containers i thought were air tight the weavels could crawl out of through the lid! So found containers with seals in the lid the best.
I thought I had tossed all the food that had been infested and then I opened a snack bar from an unopened box and the were inside! Everything went into airtight tupaware. I had biscuit tins on top of my pantry and they were in there, in the tea on the bench, I even found them in the thread or jam lids that hadn't been opened. (I had weevil moths) I now just squish any moth I see and check regularly to make sure there is no sign. It's been about 6 months and I've only seen 1 moth this week instead of the 4-6 I had a about 2 months ago. They are just gross
