“the key to stopping an infestation like this is to identify the source and eliminate it,” says michael bentley, director of training and education at the canadian pest management association . “i would recommend sealing the contaminated flour in a closable bag and discarding it. the next step is to transfer all remaining stored goods into sealable containers with tight-fitting lids. this will prevent other food products from being infested from these moths or any other hungry stored product pests.”
awful friend , timing is everything and, like cookie dough, you’re going to have to just roll with it. pests are a pretty common thing in a lot of kitchens, so don’t beat yourself up too much over this. you’ve done a wonderful thing by leaving homemade goods on the doorstep of your friends and neighbours, so they can feel more loved and less alone in these extraordinary times. you don’t have to prepare a speech, put on a performance or get on your knees to beg for forgiveness. spare your friends and your neighbours the details and simply tell them that you might have moths in your pantry and that they should get rid of any of your leftover baked goods as a precaution.
