Maize is an important staple food and a source of invaluable nutrients. Weevils are known to be among the economically important insect pests of maize in Nigeria. These insects bore into maize kernels in the field or in storage and lay eggs. The young insects grow to maturity inside the kernels, eating them from the inside out. This causes loss in the maize’s nutritive value and weight. A contaminated supply of seed will most likely contaminate other stores within a certain range. This sort of damage is especially severe on subsistence farmers, who may depend on one year store of grain to provide germinating seeds for the next. While boring through the seed, the insects create powder and kernel fragments that encourage infestation by other secondary storage pests (Kevin 2002).
