Uninvited guests in the form of small bugs can penetrate even a tightly sealed bag of flour or cereals.
Although the insects themselves are not dangerous, the products of their vital activity can cause a severe attack of allergies.
And the very fact that someone lives in food is also, you must agree, not pleasant.
Previously, in order to scare away bugs from food, it was customary to use iron nails, which were placed in a container with flour.
Despite the fact that the method worked flawlessly, it had a serious drawback: the nails rusted over time.
Therefore, modern housewives have improved this method by replacing nails with a spoon.
As it turns out, cutlery made of stainless steel is just as effective at repelling insects.
Therefore, if you have impressive reserves of flour that you don’t want to lose to sneaky pests, just put a spoon in a container with flour, and you will be happy.
