Some of you may not believe this, but if you put 3 or 4 "bay leaves" in each
of the containers you have your various stuff in it will keep the bugs from
ever getting in them. Try it and you will see this is true. Kerry

At the moth phase, they fly into your face. During the crawling phase,
they
may crawl over your hands. If you have some sight, you can see them
moving
over a white background. As far as I know, there is no foolproof way for
a
blind person to know. Usually, you bring them home with you from the
store.
The eggs seem to like the glue on the packaging of grains and flour. Then
they multiply like crazy. The professional bug patrol is expensive, but
it
works. They look at all my food, tell me which things to throw away, then
set off a bug bomb. Then you have to go away for two or three hours.
When
you come back, you open all the doors and windows. This gets rid of them
until the next time you bring them home from the store. Tupperware
suggests
you put the contents of the bag or box in one of their products, then get
rid of the packaging. You can also freeze the flour, etc. This kills any
bugs that are there, but kills some of the flavor your food will have as
well. By the way, they can be in tea, spices, fake sugar, cocoa ...
anything that can bbe remotely described as food.

Subject: [CnD] bugs in the grain
Hi there. Does anyone know how to tell, without sighted assistance whether
you have bugs in the flour, oatmeal, baking mix, or anything else. I get
help periodically because I snag friends and they look, but is there
another
better way?
