It sounds like they’re still finding a food source in your kitchen. Do you have everything in sealed containers?

I first noticed the moths two year’s ago. I thought they were coming in thru the screen-patio door. I caught them with my portable vacuum. After a few days I realized they were coming from the kitchen. I examined one and did some research! Pantry Moths! I bought the sticky traps and generally caught 1 or 2,a day and an occasional flyer. So I through out all cereals, spices, nuts ets; scrubbed canned goods and shelves cupboards backsplash with undiluted bleach, ran all dishes pots and pans thru the dishwasher on hottest temp and bought continued with the traps. The traps continued at 1 or 2 a day. So I called an exterminator. 3 sessions. The traps continued to collect a few each day and then the count increased to 4 or five a day. I realized they were coming from behind the microwave… which had an exhaust fan and was above the oven. I tore out the microwave and disposed of it… pulled out the stove and scrubbed everywhere with undiluted bleach. No more pantry moths for more than 6 months. So I went ahead and had my kitchen gutted. Sprayed the walls with pantry moth pesticide I bought online. Spent 50 thousand dollars on a new kitchen, all new appliances. Three nights ago I saw a panty moth in my sink. Last night ; one in a trap. Tonight a flyer. Does anyone have any advice for me? Don’t give me the peppermint/lavender BS. That does not work either… I tried that first actually.

Awesome! I used to clean houses and I’d always find old dusty bay leaves in older people’s homes. They probably work better when they’re not 30 years old lol

It works great for me!

Then I read to take a glass jar add a few drops of dish detergent add water to make foamy head (like when you pour a glass of beer). The female laid her eggs on top of the foam, it actually worked.
All cabinets cleaned and vacumned. I am going to use the peppermint oil balls to try and keep them out.
I also made traps with Borax & cornmeal, caught some this way also.

It really is a pain isn’t it?? So far they’ve stayed away since this incident, so the method has really worked well for us.

Now I just feel “dirty” but I know we are just like all other folks. I have new stuff to try after cleaning #3!! Thanks for giving me hope

Ahh, I know how you feel! Unless they somehow got in your fridge though (which shouldn’t be likely), then you should be fine. Prevention is really key here to keep them from coming back though.

These little things that easily turned into a BIG BIG BIIG problem! Super traumatized!

I went around the whole house cleaning and spraying paperment oil, rosemary oil and theatre oil mixed with water in a spray bottle.

Please tell me my fridge is safe?

My skin is crawling!
