bugs in bags and boxes!!!

islandjoan · 2008-03-25T22:33:43Z

Here's something I've wondered about from time to time...seems that whenever I buy bagged cat food, or boxed pasta, there are bugs to be found! Either the little worms and flying moth thingies in the cat food, or tiny little black beetle thingies in the pasta. They seem to find their way into any packaging that does not have an impermeable bag inside, or plastic coating outside. And I don't recall finding many, if any, when I lived in the States. I know to put stuff in the fridge or in plastic bags or tupperware, but these things seem to come to my place, right from the grocery store! Does anyone know what they are and have any theories as to why they are so prevalent here in the tropics?

Do any of you order food stuff from online grocers? The main reason I ask is that we tend to eat lots of organic foods in our household and I was wondering about the availability of it there on the island....

Just Google pantry pests and then buy the traps, all your mothy flying things will make a beeline for the trap and you will clean up in no time! They are inexpensive.
