put the atta in the fridge
Re: Need help with atta
angel, do you live in a hot country? then this is a common problem ..
Try cleaning out the entire cupboard and the close by cupboards before storing the ata .. sometimes they are not just in a specific container , they spread around to other stuff in the nearing cupboards too .. so clean them throughly and then buy new ata ..

^what cb said!
i also live in hot country n had this problem once when i was not using ata for long time…same for kabuli channay…i didnt use them for 2months i guess…n the container was full of those ants…yuk
use the atta immediately n you can also refrigerate or keep in freezer…
i keep maida n cornflour in freezer…

I even have to keep all the rice, spices, sugar in the fridge otherwise it gets weevils in it because of the heat.
How about also getting pest control in at your place, and have the whole house treated?
