Preventing Frozen Pipes

The American Red Cross has good advice concerning preventing frozen pipes.

Recommendations to consider before and during the onset of cold weather: • Close any inside valves that supply outdoor hose bibs • Open outside hose bibs and allow water to drain, keep valve open • Newspaper can provide protection to exposed pipes in areas that do not have frequent or prolonged temperatures below freezing.

• Keep garage doors closed • Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing • Let water drip from the faucet as even a trickle of water helps prevent freezing of pipes • Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both day and night • If you are away, leave the heat on in your home to a temperature no lower than 55 F • Wrap exterior pipes with commercial pipe wrap or old towels or cloths Don't forget about plants and pets when the temperature drops.

Protect plants with cloth coverings and keep pets indoors.

Flour Beetles There are two types of flour beetles that may be encountered in the home- red and confused. These beetles are small (about 1/8� in length), reddish-brown to brown in color with a somewhat flattened body. Adults can be long-lived and survive up to 3 years.

To tell the difference between the two, you would need to look closely at the tip of the antennae; red flour beetles have a distinct 3-segmented club while confused flour beetles have a gradually formed 4-segmented club. Fortunately, you don’t really need to get that detailed in identification to manage them as they feed on similar foods and are often found in the same areas.

Flour beetles feed on grain dust and milled grains, but can also feed on undamaged grains. In homes they may be found in cereals, flour, pasta, dried beans, chocolate, nuts, herbs, spices, crackers, dried pet food, dried flowers and cake mix. With large populations of the insects, they may cause a foul taste and odor to infested products due to a secretion from their scent glands.

Copyright Š 2019 Peel, Inc.

Red flour beetles are able to fly while confused flour beetles cannot, so it is possible for them to move to different areas of the house. If you are having a problem with flour beetles, but cannot locate the source in your pantry, check other Confused Flour Beetle areas of the home such as where pet food is stored or areas with dried flowers or potpourri.

Sometimes people see flour beetles during or after they have had a rodent infestation because the beetles can eat grain that may be in rodent baits or eat food from rodent nests where food was stored.

Management tips: • Inspect all food items and get rid of anything infested. If you do not want to throw away infested food, you can either put in in the freezer for a week or heat in the oven at 200 degrees for 2-3 hours to kill off insects.

• Clean all pantry areas, making sure to get any grain dust out of cracks and crevices. Use a cleaning solution after all debris is removed. Seal any cracks where grain dust may accumulate with a sealant product.

• Do not buy damaged or expired items from the grocery store.

• Use products promptly. If you go away for a period of time (a week or more), store items in the freezer.
