Default PSA: Freeze your flour and grains



wrote in message
...

So I just went out the pantry to check my stock of cornmeal
and discovered grain moths in an unopened bag. Nuts.

But, what would you do?

I would put it in the trash. Your suggested method would probably not cause
any harm, but I would rather waste one container than to deliberately ingest
grain moths. Incidentally, I have frozen all flour and grain items
(oatmeal, etc.) ever since I had an infestation of weevils a number of years
ago. I even freeze bird seed because my garage (where I store the seed
after freezing) is attached to the house, and I often find little "crawlers"
when I first open bird seed after bringing it home. They won't hurt the
birds, but I don't want to invite them into my house.
