NW Iowa | Spread some Diatomaceous earth (DE) in it.
It will take a couple weeks but it should get them.
Won't bother the cattle.
DE
-A physical control (siliceous dust) that desiccates insects and mites (limiting population growth)
-Not accepted by some supply chains due to health and safety concerns (dust) and the inability to remove it from the grain, which can affect machinery
-If the entire bulk is treated, DE may limit grain flow. As a result, it can only be incorporated at effective application rates to the grain surface
-Only gives longer-term control when combined with an effective drying and cooling regime
-To prevent mites occurring at the surface of grain, rake DE into the top 0.3 m at 200 g/m2 (1 g/kg). To deal with surface infestations, treat with 600 g/m2 (3 g/kg)
-Control of the least susceptible pest, grain weevils, could take several weeks
