It’s a fly, It’s a mosquito, It’s a flour moth!
I had a bag of unopened flour in my pantry and was going to open it for baking last week and horror of all horror! I realised that in the cupboard had some flying insects as I open the doors. I didn’t know what they were and thought they were mosquitos. My friend saw it and told me those are flour moths. I knew why now. I had an opened cake mix that I didn’t want to use and I had left it there for a few months so I quickly took it out, put it in a bag and threw it straight into the bin. Gosh, I cleaned out the pantry straight away check the unopened bags of flour (they were alright) and looked online to research about these flour moths. I found that you can actually buy this things called flour moth traps to get rid of any flour moths that may be lurking in them. It works like a sticky trap and the moths are stuck on it and prevent further breeding as they fly around. I’m going to buy a few of these and place it in the pantry cupboards to make sure.
