Actually my house has 5 types of rice : Thai fragrant, Thai, Calrose, Basmati and Mixed brown. So far, only the Thai fragrant has yet to be infested due to it being very new. The other types we only cook once in a while. Anyway, after sifting, I went to my Japanese $2 shop (Daiso) and they stock special weevil repellant packets to be placed in the rice bin. One type had a strong odour of wasabi and garlic whereas the other barely had any smell. Will see how it goes after I add these to my rice stock...
