    I’d vacuum it out real good and try this here^^^

      If it is the older style feeder try cutting a couple inches off the PVC or make sure yours is sitting above the hole in the bottom.

        IDK, all I know is we by corn by the trailer, and mix DE with it and never get bugs in it. I use it in my garden too.

          If you throw a rag in it with just a few drops of diesel on it then the weevils won't get in it or if they are then they will leave.

              Hang one of these from the lid. Will last about 3 months, then replace.
