I have moths

[den]

Something, most likely a grainy product like a breakfast cerial, has introduced pantry moths into the food cupboard. Now I have to keep my Weet Bix sealed in Tupperware to keep them safe. I don't care about those other sugary things everyone else likes as long as my Weet Bix are safe. I think the moths may have come in a bag of nuts-and-bolts museli.

Try bay leaves

[(Anonymous)]

Afer an outbreak of weevils in flour, rice, breakfast cereals and similar I followed a suggestion to put bay leaves in everything. No more outbreaks since.

The weevils seemed to have no problem getting inside sealed plastic containers - everything was infested.

The leaves don't affect the taste of the items.

I'll give that a go. I'm using stickytraps to catch the adults but they're not catching all of them.
