I've just never seen these critters before, ever. And no, no insecticide. The pantry is full of food and I'd have to remove everything in it first, spray, let it sit, then re-shelve. Another friend did have weevil/miller problems, but now she puts every single solitary bag of flour or grains in the FREEZER for 24 hours when she brings them home from the market. Says she's not had the problem since she started doing that. We have pest control, but only for the outside of our house. I'm just reluctant to have them spray in the pantry at all.

They started showing up a couple of months ago in the house we're renting. The owners of the house actually asked us, "Have you seen the little bugs yet? They always start showing up around this time of year." The house is only a few years old, and we have regular pest control, so we don't know where they're coming from. Like you, our's seemed to be attraced mostly to flour based products and stuff with sugar in it. Oh, well, we're moving in 2 weeks anyway. Hopefully the new house won't have any bugs!

Did you spray any insecticide, or just clean well? I have seen a few flying bugs in my pantry and a few dead ones, too. I do have everything in containers, but the cleaning still awaits me. Maybe a trip to the Container Store would further inspire me to get busy. Good luck with the pool problems. We have had our share, too, but have gone a whole year without spending a penny, besides maintenance. Saying this is probably the kiss of death.
