You need a pantry moth trap.... https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=pantry+moths+traps&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=181915942489&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3728713595596560322&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033057&hvtargid=kwd-4757850630&ref=pd_sl_5b640l8162_b_p19 or any hardware or home store
There are pantry moth traps available by Safer
I bought an electric trap that had a light at the top and a fan at the bottom which sucked the moths into a basket and dried them up. It was specifically for moths but I'm not home to see the name of it.
It got rid of an ongoing infestation that the traps were not touching. identifying the store that I was bringing the buggers home from Helped stop the constant inflow of them too!
I got it from OSH a few years back.

Are you talking about pantry moths? Have they gotten into foodstuffs ? They seem to like dried peppers. You can purchase traps for pantry moths. But if you find they have invaded any stored food in pantry, you either have to discard it or put in freezer to kill the eggs. Also all your shelves where food is stored has to be washed thoroughly. And to keep them away later in case all the eggs were not destroyed, dried bay leaves helps. I had an invasion of these 3 years ago and it was terrible. You should put the traps throughout the house, even in bedrooms and closets. I think I must have brought them into my house from grocery store where something i purchased was infested. Hope this helps.
A clerk at the hardware store where I was purchasing the traps a few years ago mentioned the moth larvae are often in pet food and to be aware of the store where I was purchasing my dry pet food. Sure enough, the next time I was in that store, I noticed the moths around the pet food aisle. As soon as I changed where I purchased the pet foods and let their traps do their job, no more moths.
Had that problem in my small pantry. Threw out all grains, pulled everything out and washed it all down. That was 4 years ago, no returning problems.
We had , I believe the are called Indian meal moths, I bought traps at Lowes and that finally got rid of them, but it takes maybe a month.
My mother taped dried sage leaves to the inside of all the pantry cupboards. It's an old remedy but worked.
