Weevil Deterrent

I stick a bay leaf inside the lids of containers of flour, oatmeal etc., and have done for years and never have any trouble with weevils. I just renew them as they dry out.

Editor's note:  I also have bay leaves in flour and pasta canisters. I also put all dry goods (flours, pasta, grains, legumes etc.) in the freezer for at least seven days before putting them into clean, dry canisters. This also helps to keep pantries weevil free.  Cath
