Indian Meal Moths are probably the most common pantry pest found in kitchens and pantries. The Indian Meal Moth is found more often than any other on stored food and grain in the United States. Since they feed on any items containing grain or cereal products, the Indianmeal moth alone is responsible for most of the insect problems associated with the natural food industry. How To Get Rid Of Indian Meal MothsPheromone traps for the adult moths and residual insecticidal sprays are the two most common recommendations. The Propest Pheronet Trap is a distinctive trap in that it not only is designed to capture the pantry moths, like the Indian Meal Moth, but also Cigarette Beetles.

Prevention and Sanitation:
Periodic
cleaning of the shelves helps to prevent infestation of stored food
products by pantry pests. Some
infestations of packaged food originate in the food-processing plant
or warehouse. Do
not mix old and new lots of foodstuffs. If you
are unsure about an item being infested, place it in a plastic bag
where you will be able to catch anything that emerges. Infestations
are most likely to occur in packages that have been opened for the
removal of a portion of the contents and then left unsealed for long
periods. Clean old containers before filling them with fresh food. They may be contaminated and cause a new infestation. Make sure that cabinets and storage units are tight and can be cleaned easily. Store bulk materials, such as pet foods, in containers with tight-fitting lids. Keep storage units dry. This is important because moisture favors the development of pantry pests; dryness discourages them. Some pantry insects breed in the nests of rodents and insects and may migrate from these into homes. Eliminate any nests found in or near the home. Pantry pests can also breed in rodent baits. Be sure to frequently check and discard infested baits. Temperature:When packages of food are found to be infested with moths or beetles, either low or high temperatures may be used to control the infestation. Insects are cold-blooded; their body temperatures closely follow that of their environment. The most favorable temperature for most pantry pest is about 80°F. Above 95°F or below 60°F, reproduction and survival is greatly reduced. When temperatures are lowered, insect activity decreases until all activity stops. The quicker the drop in temperature, the quicker the kill. Although insects will be killed, their bodies will remain in the food unless sieved out. An exposure of 2 to 3 days to temperatures of 5°F or lower kills the more susceptible stages (larvae and adults), but eggs require longer to kill (3 weeks). An alternative is to freeze the food for a week, remove it from the freezer for a few days, and then refreeze it for another week.
