If you don’t remember a post Melissa wrote about a month ago about our house moths you can read it here. If you do remember, they’re back...
So apparently no matter what I do getting rid of pantry moths is almost impossible. We thought we were in the clear because the house has been free of them for 3 weeks. Then Sunday morning I found a larvae in our sugar jar. No way. Are you kidding me? I even cleaned out the sugar container a month ago when Melissa and I did the first deep cleaning. As precaution I checked the shelf and area around where we keep our sugar. Found em’. Lots of em. I went through the food on the shelf and threw away another garbage bag full of food and then sanitized the whole area. I knew the problem wasn't over but I was hoping that was the majority of it. As I left for work on Tuesday I saw a big one in the cupboard were the problem began. I freaked out and quickly killed it cause I was late for work. But of course killing one would be just too easy. I ended up killing one more as well as 2 live larvae crawling up the wall. At this point I was furious. I seriously feel like I have done everything I can think of to get rid of these little guys and they just keep coming back.
My last thought was that I need to freeze them out. I turned on the air conditioning hoping that will work. So here I am sitting in my freezing room in the middle of September hoping my moth problem will someday be gone for good...

Oh man, that is very disturbing!!!
SICK! That sounds frustrating!! Can they spray for those things??? Or.. do pest control or something?
No you cant spray for moth because their eggs have a thin sheath over protecting them from any sprays. I am working on it though. I think we are nearing the end of it. I turned the AC for a week hoping I would freeze them out....eggs, larvae and moths.
