Storage Container for 50# Flour/Sugar

QUESTION:

Storage Container for 50# Flour/Sugar Okay, it's frightening but here I am again; seeking knowledge. What containers can I use that will hold 50# of flour and/or sugar and will keep critters out in summer. I am planning on purchasing a window air conditioner for the small room in which I keep my baking supplies also but I do need a container that will keep the flour and/or sugar
(whatever) fresh.

ANSWER:

-I take the flour out of the bag and put it in large ziploc bags, the kind that stand up properly. This seems to work for me here in New Jersey, where we have a representative assortment of critters.
-My mom used a (new) galvanized metal trash/ash can with lid for flour storage. This worked fine for about 30 yrs. It would hold at least 60 lbs. So I imagine those rubbermaid plastic trash cans with lids would work too.
