What should I do if there are bugs in the rice bag

In life, if many people buy a lot of rice at home, it is more likely to be infested with insects. In fact, there are certain conditions for rice to be infested with insects. First, the rice is stored at home for a long time, and secondly, there are more green plants in it. When rice is infested with insects, it will not only produce some bacteria, but also affect the taste of the rice. At this time, you should not eat it. So what should you do if there are insects in the rice bag?

1. Place the rice with insects in a cool and ventilated place, let the insects crawl out slowly, and then sift it.

2. If there are many insects in the rice, you can also use phosphazenium zinc and organic acid to fumigate them. The specific method is as follows: On the balcony or in an idle room, put the infested rice together with the bag in a well-sealed plastic bag, i.e., the fumigation bag, and then put a cup or bowl in the fumigation bag with 50 grams of vinegar in it; if the grain does not exceed 500 kilograms, wrap one gram of zinc phosphide in paper and put it into the cup or bowl of vinegar. Do not stir it and seal the mouth of the fumigation bag immediately. Sealing it for 5-10 days will kill all the pests inside. After that, let the gas dissipate for 2-3 days, remove the vinegar water and discard the residue.

3. If there are not too many infested rice, you can put the infested rice in a plastic bag, tie the bag tightly, and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator. Take it out after 48 hours to kill the borers in the rice.

How to effectively prevent rice from getting infested with insects?

1. First, put the purchased food (rice, beans, etc.) in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze it for four hours to kill the insect eggs. Take an empty plastic oil barrel, wash it and dry it. Put the frozen food (rice, beans, etc.) into the dry plastic oil barrel and cover it with a lid to prevent flying insects from entering.

2. Pour 50 grams of white wine into the bottle without covering it. Then bury the bottle in the rice with the mouth of the bottle higher than the rice surface and seal the rice bag. Due to the weak breathing of rice, the air becomes less and less, and the volatile ethanol in the wine has insecticidal and bactericidal effects, so it can prevent insects.

3. First put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, then take a dozen peppercorns and put them in the pot and cook with the water, then put the cloth bag in to soak it, take it out and dry it. When packing rice, sew a few small pockets with gauze and put some peppercorns in them. Place them at the bottom, middle and upper parts of the rice respectively. Tie the mouth of the bag tightly and place it in a cool and ventilated place. This will prevent the rice from being infested with insects.

4. Putting a little kelp in rice can prevent the rice from becoming moldy. However, the kelp should be taken out every 10 days or so and then put into the rice after 10 minutes. One portion of kelp can be reused more than 20 times. It can not only inhibit mold but also prevent rice from being infested with insects.
