Moths in the pantry!

How do I get rid of these guys without bombing the pantry? Anyone have any suggestions? I just took the last sip of a glass of red wine without looking first and had a moth swirl around in my mouth until I spit the wine back out. Needless to say, I stuck the spit-out-wine-in-the-glass in the pantry. If that fails, I'll need a back-up plan......

Help!

Well, for one thing, I don't think they have much of a natural lifespan. No wool in that pantry, is there?

I've always wondered how they harvested them. They must use tweezers.

cool link Joe, but they're selling a product.

Roger there is wool there. I did a quick check on the wool coats, but I do a more thorough check tomorrow. Or maybe I'll bundle up my coats in trash bags for a couple weeks.

it is! But, that's less for me.... I'll have to find something cheaper. Maybe just juice.

Remember little k, the moths don't eat wool. It's the larva. They may have already laid eggs.

oho! I see, roger. And, they have definitely laid eggs, maybe a couple rounds of eggs.

could be from the rather exotic food products that you seem to have about. might be indian meal moths, or something close to them.

btw, i am against the harvesting of moth balls, by tweezer or otherwise.
