Take care to store grains and flours that are WHOLE grains in the fridge or freezer to keep them from becoming rancid.
I store all my flours (except white flour) in one of the bottom bins in the fridge (move lever, if you have one, to "low himidity").
I store all grains (brown rice, oats, millet, kamut, winter wheat, etc.) in the freezer.
You might then have adequate room to store those items which need no refrigeration like dried fruit, pasta, beans and sugars on your shelves. I reuse glass White Mountain yogurt jars. They are clear, paper label comes off easily and there are no markings on the white plastic lid. Works great. i can even stack them.

i live in the swamps of texas and have had remarkable luck with Buzz Away Extreme. the active ingredients are soybean oil, geranium oil, castor oil, cedarwood oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil and lemongrass oil. NO DEET. we also have the zebra striped mosquito and ANY water is a breeding ground. they can even breed in wet dirt. had a deep pond for a number of years before the raccoons drove me crazy by trying to rip the shingles off my roof. i guess they were mad because they couldn't reach the fish. i stocked it w/pet store comet goldfish and never a larvae was seen.
