You mean Indian Meal Moths?
" The life cycle and habits of this pantry pest is similar to other moths infesting stored products. Eggs are laid on or near the food. A female moth may deposit from 40 to 350 eggs. After hatching, the small caterpillars (see drawing above) begin spinning silken threads in the infested food material. They feed for about two weeks before becoming full grown. They crawl up to the surface of the food material or often up walls and pupate within a cocoon. The adult emerges in about 30 days. The entire cycle requires about six weeks and there are from 4-6 generations per year."

I believe as soon as it warms up enough for the grain moth to start flying around, they go into season. And I don't think they go out of season until they die off for the season.

moths. cedar is a brilliant insect repellant for closets. it smells advantageous and could no longer injury you like moth balls do. despite the fact that i be attentive to it somewhat is a repellant, i do no longer think of that is going to kill the moths that are already there so it may be terrific for this variety of infestation to touch an exterminator.
