For about a week I have these skinny grey color mothes about 1/2 inch long in my kitchen I have no idea where they are coming from, any ideas what to do or how to get rid of them?

Get everything out of the cupboard and vaccum them out.
Then throw out any seasonings you have, check your flour and rice bags. Get containers that seal tight. Leave no open bags of anything on your shelf.. the larva will get into them and feed off them until they become moths.
They are really hard to get rid of once they are in your kitchen because they are coming in with the grocery store food stuff.

They are meal moths. They're in the same category of pest as weevils. They are in some kind of dry food. It could be anything from flour to dry dog food. I've even found them in wall hangings made from dried corn. They can be a real pain to get rid of. Check all your dry goods. Throw away anything suspicious. You can also put he packages inside large zip-loc type bags for a few days, and see if any of the moths appear inside the bags.

The first two people were right on. Although, even stuff with the lid can be infested. Look in your flour jar carefully, as these moths love flour, and can sometimes get into even tupperware containers.
Also, you'll probably notice these moths hanging from the cieling. Suck them up with a vacume cleaner extension.

Probably some larvae in your pantry. Look into your pantry, specifically at boxes of cake mixes, grains etc. If there's a lot a loose flour etc. on your shelves, they've been infested by bugs! Not fun, because it pretty much necessitates throwing away just about everything that's not in a plastic container with a tightly sealed lid.

Like contained in the Dreamscape, an episode of Fringe, it signifies that you've been drugged with the drug that motives your ideas to create injuries on your body via hallucination - ideas over count number. quickly extra moths will commence to fly in, you'll look apparently and word that they have got sharp edges on them. The moths will fly at you and also you'll get reduce. you'll yell, yet no man or woman will listen you, and also you'll leap out of window to flee the moths your ideas had conjured. regrettably, you'll die from the autumn, and the perimeter branch of the FBI will come from Boston to look into your demise (it truly is, when they rescue the Olivia from this part from the commerce universe).

Sounds like cupboard moths. I had them..You have to empty your cupboards and clean them out with hot water and soap(or cleanser). You may be surprised/disgusted with what you find in there. Then I scattered bay leaves around in there, because I heard they don't like them.
They're really gross!

Check out your pantry, any dry goods like flour, beans, seeds of any kind. They're living somewhere in dry food.
