SC - losenges fryes/potage of beans boiled

[LYN M PARKINSON]

There are some horrible tiny moths that appear from nowhere and get into
things.  Maybe they come with Chilean fruit?  I got out my Bisquick the
other night to make up some biscuits for my chicken, and the big box was
full of these critters!  They have ruined beans, barley, rice, and nuts,
dried fruit, all sorts of things.  When I find a fresh batch of them, I
have to throw out a bunch of groceries, scour the cupboards and still
they find places to hide and re-appear.  

Now, all the nuts, barley and dried peas/beans etc. live in the freezers.
 Wish there was a food-safe insecticide to spray, but I don't dare do
that around food.  Have lately been wondering if it would be safe to
saturate cotton balls with insectacide and place them in cupboard
corners.  Finally got the critters to stay away from fabric by buying
some cedar pet bedding and leaving it on a bottom shelf of the fabric
wardrobe.  I don't want all my food to smell of cedar, though, so haven't
done that in the kitchen.

Regards,

Allison
