Hon, I hate to tell you but if you have the small pantry type moth that breed in flour or any grain product you might be stuck with them for life. we had them in our old house and when we moved instead of getting rid of all flour and grain products we brought them with us and you guessed it, brought the little critters right with us. Sometimes their not to bad , I think it's because we keep them pretty well killed off but then all of a sudden there they are again by the numbers, must be the eggs have hatched and they start all over. Best advice I can give is to get rid of all unsealed flour products and grains. We keep everything in airtight containers now and I've seen a big difference in the amount that keep returning. A person told me once that once you get them you can never get rid of them, and so far I have to tend to believe them, I've tried everything from sticky fly traps to pesticide and still have them from time to time. try getting rid of old stuff and get some new airtight containers, by the way they bore through the paper bag that your flour or grains come in and that's where they live and breed, hence the airtight containers. Wish you the best and Good Luck

I have them too.
I have not been able to rid my house of them entirely.
Look through your pantry items and throw away anything that has grains in it (cereal, oatmeal, cookies, crackers) Scrub the surfaces where food was kept.
Buy a bug-bomb and use it according to manufacture instructions
