I gave myself the mission at #kanthaus to combat the long-standing food-moth issue.

They're quite impressive: able to bore through paper, card and plastic bags! Anything with (traces of) grains, seeds or beans is at risk.

Last weekend with @anni we sorted through almost allll the dry food (throwing out lots of 🌶️ 😔 ) and packaged the rest in jars and buckets.

This morning I made some comedy propaganda using #inkscape and the only 2 moth related films I know 😆
Film poster for Mothra (1961) which features "MOTHRA" in huge letters centrally. A huge, ominous moth glares from behind. Two miniature women at the front gesture towards the most. I edited the film text to read "Only the toughest packaging can hold it back!"
Film poster for Silence of the Lambs (1991). A human face in sharp relief in the center with dark red pupils, a gold and brown moth over it's lips. The moth has a skull on it's back. Where the film title should be is instead "loose lips breed moths"
Well done! Moths are my favourite excuse to raid flea markets and buy up tons of jars on the cheap. :)
Yes! I've been fighting this particular scourge since I moved onto a place with a previous infestation. Large, sealed glass jars are your friend! I immediately transfer any grains, legumes or nuts into jars as soon as I get them home.

Short of nuking them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
