Hello, I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction of a post with advice on already.
I came to use some potatoes the other day and noticed a little white spec on it, that was moving, I am guessing that it was a mite?! so I checked the rest of the potatoes and there were more!!!
I havent yet rummaged around the pantry to see how many more things are infested, but I wanted advice on :
A) how to get rid
and
how to keep them at bay
The kitchen is clean and tidy, so I dont really understand where they are comming from which is even more worrying!!
