Wow. I hit the payload.
Of weevils, that is. Above the microwave, at the ceiling level, there’s a cupboard (that I don’t use much because of the height), that I had stored, about 2 years ago, (duh), some of my unused, sprouted, but not “sealed” jars of 4-5 different types of flour.
Do I need to paint you a picture? Really? Ok. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
They were all covered, inside, with hundreds, maybe thousands of weevils. Quite a few were still alive, and walking around the rims of the jars. So much for airtight.
I took a few photos, and will show them in a moment. I want to give you a moment to decide if you want to see them or not. Too bad I couldn’t have sold them for future experiments on pest control. Jajajajaja.
Ok. That’s enough time. Here they are, in all their grotesque glory.
I even tried to nuke the buggers. To no avail.
It took a bit to dispose of them, but, eventually, I won. They are gone, in the organic bucket, in a Justo compostable bag, and on their way downstairs to the big bin.
I feel that I’ve gotten them under control, but I’ll have to go through everything in the pantry soon, just to be sure. I cleaned out the cupboard, cleaned off the counter, and, hopefully, have taken all of their food sources out of their reach. I’ll let you know how it goes from here. It’s almost as bad as having those tiny ants in your kitchen, but you can follow their trail, and get them out that way. These I had to do quite a bit of detective work.
Enola Holmes, at your service. (If you haven’t seen those movies, there are 2 of them, on Netflix, check them out. Pretty entertaining, in a Sherlock Holmes kind of way. Enola was the sister Sherlock, and Mycroft Holmes never talked about. Fun.)
Anyway, that’s all I can say, for now, about weevils as I’m sure I feel them crawling all over me.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
They are soon to release the 3rd Enola Holmes.. we love her… not to mention Stranger Things which she is in as well 😍
