MODERATORS
Not just sealed. They will get into sealed cardboard boxes and through thin plastic. Like bags, forget it. Everything either needs to go into glass, metal, the fridge, or thick plastic, like tupperware. Also they will eat stuff you'd never expect, like spices, even hot pepper.
Lol, Commander in Chief, giving instructions. Got it.
I'm not giving anyone orders, just trying to convey how ridiculously anal you have to be about it get rid of them. I went through several rounds of "surely these things will be ok, they aren't open / in a ziplock / not something it would possibly want to eat" repeatedly failing to get rid of them before finally putting EVERYTHING into glass, Tupperware or the fridge.
A flamethrower might work too.
