I've had the same problem and thought I would lose my mind. Here is the absolutely best product: "The Pantry Pest Trap". You can buy them at bird food stores, possibly home depot or lowes.
I am providing a link to a website where you can order them so you can see what you are looking for. They work fast. You will need to dump anything that they are already in but the trap will keep new infestations from starting and stop the icky fluttering.

Good luck = it will work!

I had them in my cabinet too..I had to toss alot of things because they lay eggs everywhere. I also have a room where I have birds and the little moths were verywhere because of the birdseed. Clear everything out of the cabinets and vacuum. Toss anything that is a grain and opened.

Try to locate their breeding place and get rid of those contaminated food. Clean out the whole cabinet. Lined it with moth balls.

I have had this problem with my birds and their seed as well. I started keeping the birdseed in the freezer in serving size baggies. I let them come to room temp before serving. I have taken to freezing my flour and pancake mix as well. Just make sure they come to room temp before using.

apparently bay leaves keep them away, i had a similar problem years ago,
put the leaves in and around your pantry, not sure how long it takes, but it will help (leave the door open, so they can get out)

Tell them to leave in no uncertain terms.

I'd use either a flame thrower or move.
