Question from chuckulz
I had some old pasta in my “pantry” and discovered they ‘released’ these bugs. I threw out all the pasta and emptied my pantry and checked all the boxes for signs of infestation. I found an old box of bread crumbs with holes in it and threw it out as well. I put everything back after I wiped boxes, cans & shelves with soapy water.
I still see these bugs flying around. I have been leaving a ceiling light on and sucking them up off the ceiling & light with my vaccuum. I empty the vaccum container every day. I can’t imagine how many there have been and where they keep coming from – I’ve checked everywhere.
I’m down to this – I have two cats and feel I need to bug bomb my house – is there any safe product? I don’t trust the ones I have seen.
Debra’s Answer
I do not know of any safe bug bombs.
Perhaps bugs in the pantry are Nature’s way of saying “This food is too old! Return it to the ecosystem for recycling, please!”
