You might consider making a choice about whether you're an idiot who
types idiotic juvenile "humor," or a legitimate participant here. It
takes a lot to make it to my kill file, but you're pretty close now,
and I imagine you've already hit a few others, since your noise to
signal ratio is about 20:1. Prior to this, I can't actually remember
your last real comment.
What was it that JW said that bothers you? I don't see it.
"I've had these for years. Every year when the outdoor temparature
warms up, they start flying around the house. I've tossed food, put
it in plastic bags, and tried all sorts of things. I wont spray
insecticide on food though. The moths are less harmful then the
spray. I've just sort of come to the conclusion that they will always
be here no matter what I do. I smack the moths with a fly swatter and
always carefully look at food before I cook it, and if I see worms or
cob-like things in the boxes, I toss the box of food. Food is too
costly to throw it all away over and over when I know I'll just bring
home another box of food from the store that has them. And if I open
every box to look for them, then they'll get into all the boxes of
food. They're annoying, but harmless. I can think of a lot worse
bugs and worse yet, rodents to have in a house.
On the other hand, I read somewhere to put all boxed food in the
microwave for about 30 seconds to kill them. But I tend to wonder if
that wont screw up the food, so I never did it. I bet if I was to
take a guess, that at least 50% of people have this problem in their
house."
