What are pantry moths?  


 


I have these things that hang out round the sink.  They run away when I come near ... not cockroaches, not beetles, dark grey in colour, kind of triangular shaped.  They live behind the wall that the sink is on (it's not properly fitted in yet).  


 


 

And crickets.

Do you mean silverfish.  They sometimes hang out round the sink and often turn up in the bathtub.


But their favourite haunt is in the bookcase having a feast on books that are not opened too often.

Thanks, Lyndal, but no.  They look more like moths, or those things that get into your flour and rice, (weevils), but they live on the surface.  I don't think I've ever seem them before.  And, they move very fast, so I can't get a good look at them.  They also vary quite a bit in size ... from about 3mm to 1.5cm.  

A lot of critters are coming towards the houses more for the smell of water in the dryer regions.


I have noticed a huge increase in the last couple of years.
