Obviously, the first thing to do is get rid of the cereal (discard it in the outside trash bin - not the one inside). Next, you need to thoroughly check every single package in your cupboards to see if there are any more weevils. If there are, then throw out those packages, too. Then wash the entire inside of the cupboards, and dry well before replacing food.
To keep from being reinfested with weevils, keep all foods such as flour, cornmeal, etc., in the freezer or refrigerator as soon as you bring it home from the store. I prefer the freezer since I know it's cold enough to kill any thay may be in a new bag or package of flour (and because I also prefer baking with very cold flour).
For foods that you can't keep in the freezer or refrigerator, such as cereal, crackers, etc., keep them in tightly sealed containers. Also, keep in mind that weevils do sometimes get in dried herbs and spices, so make sure to check them, as well.
