Just curious~ What kinds of foods do you leave out on the counter that are vegetable, fruits and other things that people typically might store in the fridge??
I put just about everything in the fridge unless it's in a tight-sealed container and did not need refrigeration (with the exception of dried beans). I have had bugs get into most everything where I live, even bugs I didn't expect like grain beetles. Since I started storing everything in the fridge, I haven't had any insect issues.
