pantry moths... how did they get inside?!

the empty food cupboard...

i had no idea how these fluttery things with slimey-looking younglings get inside my apartment when there's a wire gauze over all windows... except perhaps through the slits in the window wherein the air-conditioner (A/C) was installed over summer... darn those wretched creatures! i had to part with my beloved sacks of rice... rice of all sorts; wild, sweet, brown, and my baking stuff... evil little things!

may i also mention that the said window with the A/C also enticed a frequent visitor with a bushy tail particularly when it storms... and more annoyingly this visitor has a penchant for gnawing at the gauze outside the storm window next to the one containing the A/C. it's partly my fault for having the storm window drawn up occasionally for the fresh breeze, because the protective (?!?) gauze has suffered 3 chewing destructions and consequent replacements... and i believe that the visitor actually came in one evening and decided that it wasn't going to be finding any food and scampered out again. i've never had negative thoughts of grey squirrels until i met them in person... they are pesky.

pantry food in a box anyways... back to the pantry! i've been swatting and exterminating them moths and emptying my food cupboard... and putting whatever could be salvaged in a box... clearing away these invaders will be my new chore! baaaah... and i will have to live with an empty cupboard for a while... sob.
