just bl**dy weevils...again!

Must've been the one thing that I haven't frozen prior to putting in the cupboard.

At least they were contained. Never forget waking  up one morning and thinking someone had spilled the rice in my bedroom.  At least you can herd them towards the light .

Not frozen --- only with fear when they knew they'd been sprung

Looking at those maggots reminded me of an incident that happened to me about 30 years ago.DH and I were living in the Doha at the time,supermarkets were very basic and when you saw stuff on the shelves you bought it.One day I happen to see some chocolate covered raisins for sale "oh nice" I thought and bought them.That day I decided I was going to be mean and eat the chocolate raisins all myself and not share them.So I start scoffing them,then half way through I bit into rather large raisin and OH!!! I bitten a maggot in half :o :o.I spat what was in my mouth clear across the room,gargled with hot tea that was in my other hand to rinse my mouth and put the remainder of the packet in the bin.DH just nearly wet himself when I told him :-))

Nasty little blighters to have in your pantry CP. We get them occasionally here in the UK and like you said very hard to eradicate.

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

If you put dried stuff in the fridge for a few hour it  will kill the eggs which are usually present.
