Anybody know a surefire way to get rid of those pesky little moths? I brought them back from Japan with me. I keep thinking I finally got rid of them, then we get a new hatch of grey flyers flitting around the kitchen. They seem to eat anything with any type of grain in it. I've found them in my bulk spices too.[/quote]
Nasty creatures, those things. I had them gifted to me when I moved into a new (old) house. I suppose they're better than roaches, but geez.
There are "panty moth traps" available (check "gardens alive", and my local co-op has them too). They work pretty well to get the ones that are flying, but my experience was that EVERYTHING had to be checked and anything with that funny grainy residue (if you have them you'll know what it looks like), cobwebs, etc. had to be thrown out. And I had to really clean out the cabinets too.
If you are worried about bringing them home with you from the store, you can also put things in the freezer for a day or so. If they're in there, that will stop them. We do that with the birdseed for the parrot. Anyone want a parrot, by the way??? I'd be happy to open the cage and let it fly to wherever you are!
