This gets rid of the hideous ones but leaves the pretty, charming ones alone, as it should be.

How to get rid of hideous pantry moths
So I guess we’re done with “looks don’t matter”?

Are these a warm climate thing? I’ve never heard of them before. One advantage of living in a place that freezes for half the year is that the most hideous members of the insect and reptile world can’t survive here.

We tried many of the things listed here. Kind of worked to reduce numbers as long as we didn’t drop our guard. Then we noticed a shadowy area above the cupboards where we would often see them. Since it was a bit separated from our food, we just sprayed surface spray on the wall in that spot.
Moth population crashed almost instantly…

The traps don’t solve the problem as they only captures males. These moths can also go outside the kitchen and make larvae which will eat holes in cotton clothing.

Unless your plants need to be really wet all the time, the cure for these is to let the soil/compost dry out as much as possible between waterings.

Would you describe it as “non-Euclidean” or “squamous”?

Why, thank you, yes — eldritch too. I should also add that when I say “moths” I really mean things with wings that were otherwise far too hideous and distressing to furnish with more exact appellation.
