Weevils for food and breeding?

So... our whole wheat flour store got contaminated with weevils, and I was wondering if ants like to eat them? I was also wondering if it was possible to breed them?

Try not to feed them to your ants. They might have parasites inside them

Is there any way to kill the parasites, such as freezing or boiling?
