Answer 1

Look at your plants around the Counter area because, Moths, like butterflies, begin as an egg generally laid on the underside of host plant leaves either singly or in clusters in numbers ranging from several to 20,000. Eggs may also be burrowed in the flesh of these plants or even just laid on the ground near hosts. The host plants are located by the adults moths by their ability to identify chemical emissions produced by plants.These microscopic eggs soon hatch (in a week or less) into microscopic caterpillars.

Answer 2

When its dark, leave the kitchen and adjoining room light off. They will stay away from the door and you can open it without a problem. The only down side is you must not turn the light on.

Answer 3

Clean out and disinfect all your cupboards, is there something lurking in the back that they could be breeding in? Throw out all out of date food, and anything like flour or sugar that's been open for a while. Clean and disinfect your bin, sink and draining board too.
