I most always open whatever dry pantry goods I buy on the day I
purchase...flour and all pasta products. I have a very small kitchen
with minimal above counter cupboard space, and all pastas and powders
are best found along the top shelf and stored in clear plastic
containers (Tupperware, Gladware, etc.). If I do find critters in
anything on shopping day, that product is immediately returned to the
store. Mother taught we girls to always keep a few bay leaves in
pasta containers to keep critters from making the container a home.
This practice does seem to work quite well for me.I do not put the
leaves in flour, as that one product has never been home to anything
but the scoop stored inside.
