Pantry Moths, does anyone know a way to get rid of them naturally - nontoxic?

I see this is an old post but maybe this will help someone. We have battled the little buggers off and on for a while. Now I think I may have found a way to break their life cycle and be rid of them.

Remember fly paper? Since the wormies seem to want to climb up to the ceiling corners to spin their cocoon, I placed a strip of carpet tape a few inches below the ceiling on the wall. We are seeing a lot of wormies get stuck and die.

If you try this do not press the tape completely against the wall as it will be difficult to remove. I just run my finger along the middle of the strip, they get caught if they go under or over. Just been doing this for a couple of weeks but the population is decreasing.

If you do have food in your pantry that you will not get through quickly, store it in the fridge or freezer. You can purchase pheromone traps from the supermarket which have a pheromone insert & a sticky surface. The pheromone insert attracts the male moths which then become stuck on the trap.

If you notice any moths, inspect all packages for signs of infestation. Avoid leaving any food around which may be eaten by the moths. Ensure kitchen appliances are kept clean & free of food debris.

Dealing with a pantry moth infestation:Throw away all packaged food, even if it hasn’t been opened & remove everything else stored in the cupboard. Remove all shelves & thoroughly wipe down all surfaces with a vinegar solution. Carefully check & wipe down all nooks & crannies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
