The pantry looks fabulous Hally. Hope that's the end of the problem for you.

The pantry looks great Maddie, crossing my fingers that I never have that problem I've had one or two in different packets over the years but luckily never spread as far as I know.

Maddie I really like the look of those lock and lock products, I'm not a fan of my tupperware, I haven't bought any in years and don't bother arranging for replacements when they break so slowly have less and less.

Thank you.

Dh saw a moth in the kitchen late last night, so we are going to strip the cupboards at the weekend.

The source was either some flour or the rice, both purchased about 2-3 weeks ago.

A friend has just started selling it, so have offered to have a party, the probem is we all have heaps.

So if anyone wants some tupperware & is free wed 6th march @ 10am, pm me & you are welcome to come.

Great for storing yummy TM food in the freezer.

What a lovely clean pantry Hally. Well done. I'm too ashamed to even think about mine.

I know this is pretty old now but even if you have it in Tupperware you need to put all flours etc in the freezer first. The weavers come into your house through packaged food. (Even sifting wont get rid of it)

It's a constant drama here but because my MIL won't listen, it won't change

Sounds like you have two "bugs" Jadey $:-\$

I can't complain too much, she's in her mid 80's I just keep trying to educate and still keep finding cereal open on the shelf in its box. Noooooo!!!!

Went through my pantry yesterday, no weavils, yay, I got stuck on a trap, lol

Yes now things get frozen first before opening.

we always kept our flours in the freezer growing up, because of weevils..
