Pantry Infestation
 

Yuk!
There are lots of tiny white worms in the raisin container. On close inspection I can see tiny little wigglers all over one shelf and what look like cobwebby things.I`m thowoing out all open packets of food($$!) and washing shelves but is there anything else I can do to prevent these yukky things returning?

I'm familiar with panty infestation but not your problem

Re: Pantry Infestation
 

Thank you.That explains a lot and I`m already cleaning the cupboard as suggested.

Re: Pantry Infestation
 

Oh dear! Delightful weevils! Glad you were kept busy since you were unable to exercise your vocal chords with us over lunch!

Hopefully see you next week. . . .

Yukaroo! It was not quite the way I`d envisioned my afternoon when I woke up this morning.I`ve thrown away soooooooo much food and now the cupboards are bare.Hope you had fun.

Wilgar, this is what I did when I had a house infestation:

I went to Ikea, bought 5 packs of multiple-sized plastic tubs, and decanted all packet food into them. Every bag of flour, sugar, spices, you name it... everything of food origin in our house is either in the fridge or an airtight container. Oh, and I bought a label maker and put labels on all of these containers.

Follow my advice and you will never again be infested. And no nasty chemical involved, either!

Good luck!

Thanks Bambi I`ve now decanted all the new food I`ve just been out to buy into containers.Just took eldest son for MRI on knee which cost almost $5oo!Then I had to pay $3 parking!!!!!!!!!!What an expensive day!

Re: Pantry Infestation
 

As been said keep all dried food in airtight containers.I keep my flour,semolina and similar baking items in the freezer.
