I have moths in my pantry. How can I get rid of them?
Question:I have thrown out some of the dried foods and found two places where they were, but they are still there. UGH!
Answers:
If they are the small brown kind, they are called Indian Moths,
Best bet as what you had done, We had to clean out and throw out all grains, pasta, oatmeal, flour.. anything that is not canned. They have a way to get in to boxes and any type of paper material.. Then your going to have to bleach out the cupboard.
The moths lay eggs , and they hatch just about every 2 weeks.. You won't know until two weeks from the cleaning if you successfully got rid of them. If you throw everything out and bleach it should do the trick.
We have had that problem and ended up having to throw everything out.
They dont like ceader, lowes sells ceader closet peices that fit in different places in closet for a couple ok bucks
MOTHBALLS
Indian moths are impossibly tough to get rid of. Dynamite is about the only thing that works.
if you get one of those sticky pads that people put on doors to get rid of moths, they usually stick to it. It works for us. hope it works for you.
I took everything out of my pantry, and threw out everything boxed and opened... Vacuumed up the moths shot some insect killer into the canister and wiped down the cupboards.. I then transferred any new dry goods into sealed see thru containers. good luck
