100 years ago bugs in their grains were just reality and that's why they sifted flour to keep them out of their baked goods. I wish I could afford those metal trash cans. They cost too much for my budget. I love how your pantry is set up.

NOW I realize why people sift their flour.

Galvanized cans will for sure keep rats and mice out of your stored goods. They do have a very tight lid (on quality made cans), but not air tight so humidity levels in your pantry area must be kept as low as you can. Don't have the freezer space to freeze 50 pounds of anything, or space to store 50 pounds of flour, so we use a vacuum food sealer, placing 2-1/2 pounds of flour into brown paper lunch bags, fold over and tape, then into vac bags for a hard vac pack. If doing 5 pounds at a time, just leave in the factory bag. The hard vac kills any critters hiding in the flour.

I can't get hotdogs in my freezer, much less 50 lbs of flour. Hah.

I've never been through this...until last year!!! Totally grossed me out 🤢 Tossed everything in my pantry because we couldn't figure out where they came from.

Very nice, thank you!

I wanted to thank you for this, I actually have done everything you said to do to keep weevils out of my dry goods. I have rice stored in 5 gallon food grade buckets after I froze it for a week and then in the bucket with the rice and the very bottom I put five leaves halfway filled up I put another five leaves and then when I finish filling it up I put five more bay leaves on top and then seal up the bucket. I don't use mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. Mainly because I can't afford them LOL. And I was a little worried about my storage method not being good enough to keep bugs out of my food. But I actually threw the bags of goods in the freezer for a week one of them was in there for 3 weeks and then I used bay leaves inside with the product. So this really relieved my mind about my storage method I was worried LOL.

I vacuum my pantry shelves a couple of times a year when I check lids and update inventory.

Recommend using 5 gal food grade buckets with lids. No need for plastic bag (not food grade). Calculate how much flour you need per year. Making 1 loaf of bread per week is about 150lbs!!

I'm trying the Freezer method for Rice. but i just could have put the Rice in Mylar bags with Oxygen Absorbers. The Rice method is kind of a pain; you have to let the rice dry before storing. Im going to try spreading the Rice on a Towel and run a fan over the Rice to make sure its dried.

If it's dead, it won't run away. But freezing doesn't definitely kill.

What you said I did but bugs comes bay leaves does work I put cloves and didn't work, only is put little oil and mix it that works on the grain and rice for the flour keep it in the freezer or in the fridge if you have space

I use 22lb bags as I am by myself. I have recently repackaged them. I kept my flour in food grade buckets in original bags. I don't have a freezer, so I waited several months and took out the bags and found there was no evidence of infestation. I measured by cups into brown paper lunch sacks. Then I vacuum sealed the sacks inside foodsaver bags. I then placed these back in food grade buckets. I expect no growth within the oxygen free enviroment and will monitor for outside contamination. I am open to other suggestions.

In properly sealed containers adding CO2 either as a gas or as dry ice to at least 10% kills all bugs. CO2 is not a toxin, its what all carbohydrates and all breathable oxygen are made from via photosynthesis.

Does this work for all flours ie bead, pastry etc thank you

I had a terrible infestation last summer. I’m not sure where them came in but they were swarming in a tub of Italian bread crumbs and in many spices. I threw everything not in a can or jar away. I went on a hard deep clean for over a week. It was horrible. I think I may do this again and probably every six months. Crazy bugs in South Florida.

The original sturdy paper bag with the flour in it could be stored in the black trash bag, so that the flour is not actually touching the trash bag. Also, it would a good idea if all packages from the supermarket are wiped down with mild disinfectant before storing in the freezer.

Usually The bugs are already in the flour bags when you buy them. Flour moths too can get into the flour and lay eggs. When I buy flour I put it into a plastic bag in the freezer for 2 or 3 days , then I remove it from the freezer, take it out of the plastic bag and thaw it out then I put it back into the plastic bag and place it back into the freezer for a further 2 or 3 days to kill any eggs that have hatched .

I often buy flour in autumn for the year. I put the packaged product in a 5 gallon heavy plastic pail. I leave them for a few months in an outdoor shed, where it gets to minus 40 for a few weeks. I have a question, do you ever worry about condensation (from freezing) and what do you do about it?

Ma'am, can flour be protected from insects in a flour bag? Tell me soon

My brother found mealworm moths in a bag of birdseed. It took us over a month to be rid of them.

So after freezing, What do you do if there are dead bugs in your flour?

Shouldnt be any..but if there is you can sift them out. Thats what ol timers did

Put your flour in the freezer for 3 or 4 days it kills them before they hatch.

When removing from the freezer how do u dry it.

I leave it sit for a bit before storing. Maybe till room temp

I bake mine at 175-195, for one hour let cool then store,

Can you use plastic jars?

I do.. It helps against insects. But mice can chew thru them 🤔

Where are you finding big bags of flour like that?! I can’t find it!

Rye is real bad

once you take your flour out of the freezer, what do you do to keep condensation from getting into the stored containers. How do you know it is completely dry first. thank you

Honestly, I just sit it out, then put it in storage or my galvanized "pantry can" whenever I get a chance. Which usually isnt right away. I guess I really havent thought about that much, but havent had an issue with it either 🥰

I read somewhere, After removing the flour/rice from the freezer, acclimatise (room temperature) the product for a few days before restoring.

You should leave them out for at least 24 hours, or even 48. Then you can store them in containers.
