Pantry moths can be detected in various stages in your home. Found in the pantry area they attack dry foods commonly kept in this area such as; flour, cereal, dry pasta, dry pet food, powdered milk, corn starch, crackers, spices, breads, bird seed, dried nuts and fruit. They are often noticed in food kept in cardboard and paper containers so it is advisable to store foods in glass or other types of containers with tight lids so that they are less likely to be able to enter.

Should your product already have the eggs in it you will detect their presence through the webbing, larvae and the pupae casings. Signs that a product is infested include bits of webbing attached to the inside of the container, several grains stuck together in a clump, and the presence of larvae or mature moths in the container. Indian Meal Moth larvae resemble a grain of rice with a dark spot at one end. To thoroughly check flours and whole grains, spread it out on a piece of white paper or baking sheet to inspect.

Presence of pantry moths can sometimes be due to the infestation already present in pre-packaged food stuffs though they can fly in from outdoors and neighbouring homes. They can also breed continuously as they usually exist in favorable conditions.

Often the first indication of the infestation is the appearance of small moths flying about or the presence of beetles in or near the food package. Do not purchase broken packaged food and to prevent infestations, when transferring don't mix new with old products.

Using traps to capture the moth breaks the breeding cycle lessening continuing infestations.

There are several pantry pest insects which are Indian Meal Moth, Rice Weevils, Confused Flour Beetle, Granary Weevils, Grain Moths, Grain Bores, Drugstore Beetles, Tobacco Beetle, Red Flour Beetles and others.
