How to get rid of pantry moths?

? Are you asking for help getting rid of bugs?

Try boric acid powder mixed with corn starch. I can be set out in bottle caps or sprinkled loosely along the sides of the cabinets.

Its harmless to animals and humans but kills many types of bugs.

ok I understand the pantry moths part of the question but not the rest and maybe you’ve had them for a year? The larvae invades the dry material in your cabinets. You must inspect all flour, boxed cake mixes, rice, and other dry goods. Look for tiny white worms like a fingernail clipping size. They will go go right through the box and into the bag. Look for tiny debris and webbing. Anything stored in cans or hard plastic with lids is good to keep. Start storing dried products in airtight containers. Everything that has been infested must be tossed out. You are obviously missing something infested in there or continue to bring it back in. Also if you have a pet it can frequently enter your home via pet food. Again store it in an airtight container. The moths appear after the larvae stage. This is what they look like but they are very tiny. Need good eyes and need to open every box and inspect bags. If something is unopened and I open the box and it’s very clean inside and pull the bag out for close inspection and there is zero debris I keep it. Any doubt toss it.

The things suggested above are good. You might also freeze your flour, rice, cake mix, etc. (any non-canned items) for 48 hours before storing in air tight containers. This will kill any eggs that might be lurking in your food and then keep them from cross contamination from other things.

I also put everything but cans in Ziplock bags, and you will figure out fast which are infested. Throw out any bags where bugs appear. Actually I was so grossed out I threw out most of the stuff anyway.

Hi there, so sorry to hear about your moth problem. We had an infestation of them last year. So frustrating and had to throw everything that wasn’t canned or in a sealed container out and completely clean and wipe every surface. We also bought sticky moth traps. Apparently, they have some kind of pheromone inside that attracts the moths and then they get stuck. We’ve also hung bay leaves in our pantry (my Mom’s advice) and that seems to work. They haven’t been back this year.

Hi there, those things can be such a nuisance. We bought food for our guinea pig and it was infested with them. Check all your foodstuff and get rid of any that may be housing those critters. Pantry moth larvae are between ¼ and ½ inches long and you'll see the food moving. Rinse, disinfect and then thoroughly wash reusable food storage containers in hot soapy water. Vacuum your pantry top to bottom. Don't forget the cupboard corners and under the shelves. Make sure to empty the vacuum outside. Wash the shelves down with watered-down bleach. You can buy pantry moth traps to help keep them away after doing the deep clean.
