How to Get Rid of Pantry Moths Naturally
Posted on 23 January, 2015 at 13:04 |
Sounds like you are
doing great, Tracy. Yes, I think that the items you have stored outside
(as long as the temperature reaches freezing at least 3-5 consecutive days)
should be OK... there IS a possibility that the eggs will go into a type of "hibernation",
which sometimes happens in the colder weather, but hopefully the freezing
temperatures will kill any hidden eggs. Which brings me to another
point: You have likely gotten rid of all the adult moths INSIDE the
house, and many of the worms and eggs, but be prepared for at least one final
round of flying adult moths to hatch before this is said and done. As you will see in the
literature online and in the instructions, the way that this system works is by
interrupting their breeding/ feeding/ mating, i.e., "LIFE"
cycle. This process takes at least 4 weeks, as it takes about 4 weeks for a moth
to hatch, pupate, and turn into adult moths. so even just a few missed eggs (which there are guaranteed to be some, as they are
microscopic in size and can literally be anywhere...) can technically start the
whole cycle all over again. This is why people have such a hard time
getting rid of these pests, and why traditional treatments don't work.
The important thing is to maintain an unwelcome environment for the moths
during that entire initial
month after you have killed the first round of adults. This is accomplished by: 1). Keeping the
moths from laying eggs in or near the food (by storage methods
and by keeping the scent of Aunt Norma's Pantry Moth Spray fresh near food
storage areas, which acts as a strong moth repellent). 2). Preventing the
moths from Mating(with use of a pheromone Pantry Moth Trap, which lures
and kills the males). 3). Preventing any
hatched larva from feeding(again by proper food storage and
cleaning so that the worms/ larvae- which is the only stage that
feeds- cannot have access to any food source). Thank you for
your interest in Aunt Norma's. -Aunt Norma www.AuntNormas.com |

I did everything you suggested as well as getting rid of everything in my pantry. Th date there is no food in pantry. I even had painters come and paint the entire pantry with oil based enamel. I then went on line and ordered the traps. It has been about 6 weeks and although the problem has diminished significantly, I still find 5-6 moths in traps ea day. When I receive the spray that I ordered from you, do I spray it on all door, base boards, etc.? Please advise.

I haven't seen any moths in my kitchen since cleaning out the cupboards and using the spray as directed. I set up the moth trap in another room and it's loaded with moths....how long does the trap work and is it possible that they are actually coming from outside too because of the pheromone? Thank you.

Hi Aunt Norma,
As I am a bird owner, I'm not able to purchase your product, and very disappointed. These pantry moths arrived in the food I had purchased from a pet store. Of course, the gentleman told me they were nothing to worry about. I have since transitioned her to an all pellet diet, but still find the moths flying around every now and then. I'm not finding any webs or indication in my foods, or her millet. I have purchased traps, and will thoroughly clean my kitchen as you've indicated. Are you aware of any product spray that can be used around birds? Perhaps, knowing this is an issue for us feathered friend owners, you could somehow invent a spray that is bird safe. Thank you
