Ugh

[aceofkittens]

Thanks to my friend, the Internet, I now know that the disgusting insects infesting my pantry are Indian meal moths.

Knowledge is power, and soon they will all die. But not soon enough, as I estimate they've eaten about $100 worth of dried food products over the last month.

I've also been visited recently by Mr. Roach and Mr. Ant.

I channel Samuel L. Jackson: "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherf* insects in this motherf* apartment!

Verily, there will be a day of rejoicing when I am no longer living in this pathetic slum. That is all.

My grandma swore by canisters like this just for that problem:

N and I bought them years ago and we have never had a problem. They seal shut and there is just no way anything can get in them.

I have 2 sets of those canisters (in blue). :) My problem with them is that they are unwieldy and storage space is at a premium here. So I have much more stacked dry stuff than would fit in those canisters.

Le sigh. These moths are a new thing. Die, moths, die!

I haven't seen them. Do they come to the bay area too? Please say no.
