RIP, Indian Meal Moths of the Y Household (we hope)

I finally got all (or at least 95% of) my pantry food into air-tight plastic containers. It took 4 box sets of Snapware (14 containers each) from Costco, but it's done. There were a few stragglers I had to put into the heavy-duty freezer ziploc bags because they didn't fit in the plastic bins (like Udon noodles and rice cakes).

However, I just came back from the pantry (since I started this post) and found (and killed) one moth. Arg, these things are hard to totally get rid of. Chad said a few days ago he found where they had made cocoons in the peg holes in other cupboards, too, like where we store our glasses and dishes. But since there's no more food available for them to eat, they should be gone soon. Or at least, one can hope. I do still have my cereal in a different part of the kitchen. I bet I should box that up, too. In fact, I'm going to go do that right now before those little varmints have the chance to find it....
