sounds like weevels - you'll need to make sure they haven't gotten into anything else (anything with a cardboard packaging) as they will move on Nod

Happens all the time - usually because of the way the flour has been stored before you bought it or because they were there when they were packaged at the factory Smiler

This happened to me today - I just saw these tiny black things then saw one crawling - it was quite an old packet and I wondered where they came from - I looked on the internet and it is quite comon but I still don't understand how they actually got in there!!


Nod I have, Pretty P - does that mean we are kitchen sluts? Blush

the packet had been there a while and is used quite regularly and i have never noticed them in there before - that is what i don't really understand!!

Weevils. Nod Chuck all that stuff out...flour sugar pasta etc and clean your cupboards thoroughly -hoover them and everything. Its easier to prevent getting them in the first place than getting rid of them once you have them if you see what I mean.

Even when binning the infested stuff you need to make sure they are in sealed bags and keep any dry goods in future in sealed containers too. When you hoover the cupboards wash out the hoover afterwards - a proper hot wash. They really are little ****ers and you have to think about killing at every step. When you scrub your cupboards throw away the sponge afterwards - in a sealed bag etc, you get me?
