The Food Storage Container and Your Organized Home
Storage Ideas to Keep Your Food Just for You
A food storage container is one of the home storage ideas
for the kitchen or pantry that is essential for food safety and pest control.
Large containers are
great for handling dog food, cereal and other bulk food items.
A vacuum bag sealer system keeps meat, fish and game protected from moisture and freezer burn.
Cockroaches will be attracted to
anything organic. If they can live off the organic matter in cardboard they will find your opened packages of spaghetti and
nuts a veritable 24 hour cafeteria!
Vacuum Sealed - Another type of air tight storage. You will need both the vacuum seal bags and the
appliance to seal the bag.
See the page on the vacuum bag sealers that make a vacuum seal system work.
What type of food storage container do you need?
spices need really small containers and they need to be accessible so you can find them easily.
pet food - You will need a large well sealed container if you want to keep freshness in and your dog out.
bulk food - more large containers for food that comes home in a bag because you purchased from the bulk food section.
Mice and rats - ewww!
Rodents just love bird seed so if you are feeding the birds with bulk bird seed you are extending an invitation to mice and rats to come into your home and stay for a while.
Why would they leave when there is an ample supply of food?!
So the next time you come home with a package of food (for you, your pet, or the birds!) just remember that other living beings are also attracted to your food
and will happily invite themselves to dinner and then not leave!
Place your bulk food items in a well sealed food storage container
so that your food is reserved for you.
And these pests are not just attracted to human food. Cockroaches just LOVE pet food. So make sure that the bag of
dry dog food you bring home to your best friend is kept in a well sealed container or you just might have uninvited guests that come to stay
and who do not want to leave!
Kitchen food storage containers are a must in an organized home. To make sure you always have the right lid for the right container purchase your
containers in sets so you do not end up with a bunch of mismatched plastic containers that have no lid.
So go big or go small but keep your food safe for you, and protected from pest invasion.
