what do grain markets use to control weevils in corn

you used to be able to get pellets at the elevator, these days they usually have stuff not available to the general public, there was some stuff advertised in a farm magazine recently, if you have corn to sell with them in it a screener will take them out

Probably Phoxtoxin (phosphine gas) is what was commonly used in the past for stored grain. You could walk the pellets in on top of the grain and the pellets would dissolve into a deadly gas. The gas was heavier than air and would filter down through the grain killing the bugs.
On the farm back when we bin'd wheat, we would stand at the auger and spray malathion in the grain as it was coming out of the truck and into the auger.
