I did what you did and cleaned out my pantries. For a while I have not seen them but they have started to come back and now I see them in my kitchen, bedroom, and living room. But they are not in my pantries.

As we generally have open bags of several types of flour, corn meal, etc, we're using <A HREF="http://clipnseal.com/" REL="nofollow">Clip-n-Seal</A> clips to close partially open bags of flour and other cereals. Plus we keep these inside Zip-lock bags. <BR/><BR/>This way we reduce the likelihood of infestation and should it ever happen, it's kept inside one bag.<BR/><BR/>Good Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936264471078732019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856564.post-1159903214704513652006-10-03T14:20:00.000-05:002006-10-03T14:20:00.000-05:00Must be the year or something.

I can't say I've had problems with moths in our house - actually, in the house we currently live in, we've had no investations of any sort (fingers crossed) - but the last house we owned had ant problems - you know, those teeny, tiny little ants.
