Critters!?!

Living in a motorhome has both advantages and disadvantages and one of the disadvantages is always having to be on the lookout for critters that can do damage. We are very diligent about keeping things clean and just recently have noticed the presence of some little grain moths.

We buy mostly organic food and keep some grains stored in an already overcrowded kitchen cabinet. Today the cupboard was literally turned inside out, with the contents spread all over the counters. Though nothing flew out to greet us, we found a (plastic) container with organic, short-grained brown rice, looking suspiciously powdery.

My saintly husband quickly removed the contaminated container, along with several other members of the rice family in other assorted containers and disposed of them. The most offensive one came alive when he did that, so we think we have our pesky problem solved (at least for now). A motorhome just isn't big enough to share it with more than each other and the cat!

I can just about cope with them when they are this size, any bigger and I climb the walls!
You are sounding better, hope you are!
