    We had many redundancies years ago with very little notice given. There was a lot of stuff left behind in the kitchen. I believe the large volume of abandoned cereal was a major contributor to the serious pantry moth infestation we had a bit later.

      Aged 11 I left an open bottle of school milk on top of the gas water heater in the kitchen just opposite the head masters office. Stank quite well. I’m not sure if they ever found the bottle because I was expelled for other reasons.

      You have to take those small revenges where you can. Maybe I should have some backup food somewhere if anything happens

        Crushed peanuts. Pantry moths love them. Runner up would be a muesli mix (especially if it contains nuts). If you can hide it down the back of the cupboard a moth infestation can develop quietly, unnoticed until the larvae head out to find new food sources and you you get traumatised staff horrified by the “maggots” crawling through all the food.
