Keller Pest Control · Answer

They are called Indian Meal Moths and are easy to resolve as long as you do one thing first. Find the source it will be either wild bird feed,, pet food, grain, beans or flower starchy items. It will be something in or near the infestation area. Look at the ceiling where the wall and ceiling ,meet you will see yellow 3/4 ' worm/maggot looking larvae. they go to the ceiling and spin n a cocoon or web area to change into a moth. The way to control is remove the source. Put all contaminated foods in garbage outside of house, freeze for 24 hours nay foo you want to keep. Then was all cabinets thoroughly with bleach water. Vacuum all larvae and webs off of ceiling. Then lightly apply a pesticide to the cracks and crevices in kitchen and infestation areas.

Thanks, I did ultimately get rid of them..I think it was dry cat food! It took me forever to find the source, I threw out things that I shouldn't have. Thanks for your help.
