Anyone every get tiny moth- like creatures on your screen doors?

1 Answer

Answer :

They are typically called pantry moths… but I am googling to find their real name. They house themselves in cardboard food boxes, dry goods like oatmeal/sugar/cereal/grits… anything typically in the pantry or cupboards. I got rid of our infestation by tossing out all dry goods, and washing all of my cans in hot soapy water [in case they laid eggs on the cans]. Do they look like this? My pantry was infected by some barley and flax seeds I had bought at a local organic produce store… The stuff wasn’t treated to get rid of pests. Edit: The results of my googling.
