How do you get rid of pantry moths?

Answer 1

Remove all grain/beans/rice/flour products packaged in bags and boxes from the pantry. Check inside for spiderweb-like strands that indicate the larvae has infested the product. You'll want to throw those out even though the larvae are not harmful to humans. Freeze what looks okay for 24 hours to kill any insects or egss that may be in what you want to save. Clean pantry. You may want to store products in airtight containers for a while until you're sure the infestation is past.

They're called meal moths. They are a common widespread pest, and NOT an indictation of dirtiness or neglect.

link to the above product. Safer brand makes these fabulous, natural lures. there are 2 triangular boxes with hormone lures inside and the moths crawl inside because of the attractive hormone scent, then get stuck to the sticky surface and DIE. I use them when I see moths. if you see 10 moths, you probably have a hundred. you can also google 'safer pantry pest' to get other sources for this wonderful, natural product. The other person who answered was right to say freeze flour/ grains and discard products with the webs. I also find them in my cereal, crackers, bisquick, Once even in my older package of Bells Seasoning (the turkey stuffing seasoning!!) Good luck, this product works wonders!

Answer 3

Check your flour and rice. The moths are most likely living in one or both of them. Throw them out and replace them. I keep my rice in a closed, airtight container and my flour in the refrigerator.
