I guess you have the pink ones then maddy - manufacturers know you are out there ;D

Hope you get your pantry all sorted today Hally - probably going to end up being quite a long shopping list to replace all the items thrown out.

I guess that just have a small supply of everything is the way to go if you are near shops, it might be cheaper than bulk in the end.

Often the weevil eggs are there when you buy stuff. Never had a problem in Sdney but up here...oh boy. Just the right conditions for  hatching so I learned quickly  to put things in the fridge first for a day before putting them in the pantry. I do miss my old huge fridge i used as a cold pantry but sold recently. It was crazy for two people to need  4 fridges.  Now I have two bar fridges and my big one. Of course you do need an outside fridge in Cairns . Lol!

Not replacing items until I need them. I am assuming sealed pkts of flour are ok, might put them in freezer on rotation today. Have to take bread & frozen veg out to do this.

I just couldnt bare to add up what I have lost.

Getting cp to school a little earlier, the shops, then home. Will be doing this in my swimmers so I can cool off when needed :)

We've had a battle with pantry moths over the last couple of months - traps and freezing stuff was all I could do.  Have just invested in a small bar size freezer - just four drawers - but worth it's weight in gold!!

Did yu throw everything out even if you coukdnt see them?  Or freeze stuff?

Well tossed them all :(

I couldnt believe it yesterday, vacuumed, washed out with hot soapy water. Bay leaves out on shelves

The shelf where the flour is kept, found 4 little beasts.

Vacuuming each shelf, washing down with peppermint water, then vinegar, traps on each shelf & bay leaves. Bay leaves in every container, Bout 1/3 way through.

NEVER AGAIN
