My friends pantry is filled with Pantry Bugs its sick everytime you open her pantry door they fly out theres so many of them,
well last week i started to notice a few moths in my kitchen pantry
in the cabinet with the cereal and above my kitchen cabients towards the celling, I keep vacumming all the ones i see, and threw out all the cereal. is there any spray i can buy to spray in my cabients so they all die. or any homemade moth killer i can make.

Get some of those things to catch flies with . I dont know what they are called but they are long sticky things you hang up and they fly on it and get stuck and die.

You need to buy Pantry moth traps. They have something in the adhesive that attracts them and they get stuck and die. Regular fly paper won’t attract them. I bought mine at Fred Meyer and also I have gotten them at the home depot. I also invested in plastic cereal containers. I keep all my cereal like items in those. They are airtight. Check pasta, cornmeal, rice ect. Check even for the larvae (worms) they go to the ceiling to hatch. They love grains.All those things go into freezer ziplocs in my pantry, It is spendy to eradicate them but then it is done. Good luck.

You need to go through EVERYTHING: pasta, rice, flour, instant mixes, spices, flour, etc. They can get through the foil wrapped stuff as easily as plastic. I’ve even found them in guacamole mix.
Throw out what is contaminated and start new. I have used bay leaves in all my boxes and bags for 6 weeks and have not seen any new flying.
In the future, buy only what you can use in a short time.

first clean your pantry, throw everything that is old. Don’t forget to close all the food container tightly after use.
Then you can buy that sticky moth trap ( i bought it in drugstore)
I hope it help
