Common signs include small moths flying near cupboards, larvae, silky webbing, clumped food, or cocoon-like material in corners. If you notice these signs, inspect every opened package carefully.
Throw away contaminated food in a sealed bag, vacuum shelves and cracks, and wash the pantry thoroughly. Pheromone traps can also help catch adult moths and show whether the infestation is still active.
To prevent them from returning, store dry foods in airtight containers, keep cupboards clean, and inspect groceries before putting them away. Pantry moths are usually not dangerous, but a serious infestation may require professional pest control.
