Q: Should I throw out flour with weevils?

• <div><p>Although weevils aren&rsquo;t harmful to humans, it&rsquo;s best to throw out flour (or any food product) if it contains weevils or other pests. However, if you want to salvage food after finding pests nearby in the pantry, you can freeze it for at least four days. To prevent weevils from returning, make sure to store your food in airtight containers or inside your refrigerator or freezer.</p></div>

Q: What are common signs of dry rot or pest damage?

• <div><p>Signs include discolored wood, crumbling surfaces, and visible pests. Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.</p></div>

Q: Why do I suddenly have gnats in my house?

• <div><p>If you suddenly have an infestation of gnats in your house, don&rsquo;t worry, it&rsquo;s relatively easy to spot the cause and resolve it quickly. Gnats are drawn to moisture and decaying organic matter, so they love to snack on unsealed produce, flowers, plants, and food or liquid spills. A common spot to find gnats is inside your kitchen sink drain because it provides a hospitable environment for them to live and breed.</p></div>
