do the bay leaves actually go in with the flour etc. i.e. in the tupperware or plastic seal bag or are they just strewed around the pantry? or both

I just googled it Gem Boy. you can tape them onto shelves and containers or just scatter them & put them in like stawka has- apparently it keeps pantry moths away

Go big on bay leaves: Those pungent bay leaves aren’t just great for spicing stews–they deter pantry moths, too. Scatter a few leaves on your shelves or keep them in a shallow container to deter moths from making your pantry their home. You can even tuck them into containers of flour or grains: they won’t affect the taste of foods but they will help make them unappetizing to pantry moths.

ooops double checking I posted pantry instead of panty

I do both - just to be safe

I had some four in plastic containers, and I thought

'No need to do that anymore'  but nope - weevils hatched.....eeeeewwwwwww

and everything went into the garbage bin in a plastic bag!

So now, bay leaves in everything
