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 Moths

Pheromone 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.

Revenge Moth Pantry Pest Trap
*This powerful trap attracts and captures pantry pests (Indian meal moth, Mediterranean flour moth, almond moth and raisin moth). These moths are found in flour, rice, crackers, dog food, bird seed and cereals. The traps are odorless and not-toxic so they can be safely placed next to foodstuffs.

Each trap comes with a pheromone packet, and a sticky interior area to trap the adults.

For large pantry moth infestations, we suggest using a a residual crack and crevice aerosol such as Perma Dust or liquid residual insecticides such as Conquer to spray the cracks and crevices

Prevention and Sanitation:

Periodic cleaning of the shelves helps to prevent infestation of stored food products by pantry pests.
Certain pantry pests need only small amounts of food to live and breed.

Some infestations of packaged food originate in the food-processing plant or warehouse.
Broken packages should not be purchased, or should be exchanged for unbroken packages when discovered, for the chance of these being infested is greater than for perfectly sealed ones.

Do not mix old and new lots of foodstuffs.
If the old material is infested, the pest will quickly invade the new.

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.
If you find the pantry pest accumulating in the bag, you know the foodstuff is contaminated and needs to be discarded.
To insure any item is pest free, store it in these clear bags for at least a month. Sometimes it takes even longer for the adults to emerge.

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.
Some of the pests may find their way into other food packages, but even those in a single package may become so numerous that large numbers may find their way into every suitable material in the home, and will eventually crawl over floors, climb up walls, and gather about windows.

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.

Indian Meal Description

Indian Meal Habits

They are nocturnal, flying at night. If disturbed during the flying, they will zig zag. They rest during the day in dark places.

They lay their eggs in food stuffs like: grains, grain products, dried food, dried fruit, powder milk, seeds, candy, chocolates, and specially dry pet foods.

Abundant webbing in infested materials is characteristic Of infestations by the Indian meal moth. Its larvae are often found far from infested foods because they usually crawl away from their foods to construct silken cocoons in which to pupate. The Clothes moth is a little different in that they have no distinctive markings, and the wing span is only 1/4th".

In private residences the pantry pest such as the Indian meal moth is usually brought in products from the grocery stores. It is usually just in one area, but can spill over into other areas.
