pantry moths - Help!

6 years ago

Hi! I seem to have developed a pantry moth problem. The strange thing is, the majority of them are in my laundry room. I haven't seen any in my kitchen cupboards. At first, I thought they were clothing moths, but I looked them up online and they are indeed pantry moths! I just can't figure out where they're coming from. I have a couple of questions:


1) If they are eating food in my kitchen, wouldn't they be flying out of cabinets when I open them?


2) Also, in my laundry room, there is a furnace pipe that goes into the ceiling and there is space around it. Could they be coming from the attic? But what would they be eating up there??


Any help would be appreciated. I've been catching around 16 every day (in moth traps) and most of those are in my laundry room.
