Thread: Another sort of bug problem..

I have those suckers around my house because I breed meal worms for the lizards... Fruit flies bother me more than the moths do.. I end up catching them in my hand and letting them loose in the lizard tanks..Free food lol

They also like any kind of dry noodle, it is made from grain, rice, again grain, oatmeal, make sure you put any thing you think they might like in the gallon size ziplock bags, immediately when you come home from the store. I just bag the container and the food, that way I know for sure if they got in through the grocery store.

I cleaned the shelves, sometimes no matter how hard you try, some of the flour or sugar will work itself out through the packaging, and it does not take much to feed these little critters.

If you look they just hang out under the cabinet shelves sometimes, and they are also slow so you can just smash them some of the time. Through putting everything in the freezer, and bagging everything, and killing the bugs as I seen them, I finally got rid of them.

Yes i know we seal anything with a grain product as soon as we buy it.
You want to let any oxygen out. It will kill the larv. more than likely.
I put in seal plastic containers etc.

we put our mac and cheese boxes in ziploc bags as well as our flour,pastas,etc had bought stuff from a store one time where the larvae was in the boxes when you open one look at the cover(top of box) and if you see anything on it that looks weird then most likely its "buggy" our boxes has like this brown dust like webs on the inside of the box top and little black specks. we poured the contents into a bowl of water and wham there were the bugs
