no need for a pest control....they will spray nasty chemicals!

We get these from bird seed. (they live inside sunflower seeds).

The first time we had these, was long ago and we put the seed in the basement (which is warm in winter due to the boiler down there). The basement was FILLED with them one morning.
My husband came flying up the stairs waving his arms!

So I sucked them up with our canister vacuum...there were massive amounts of them.

Since then we have found inexpensive sticky things made just for these that work very well:

These really work.

These little moths (we call them "stupids") get into any carbo type food. I put clips (for cereal I roll the bags down tightly and clip shut) or covers on everything and since have not had a problem.

Every once in a while an errant one appears flying thru the house, and the cats usually take care of it. Our middle cat eats them (and butterflies outside too, and damselflies).

That's how I got rid of them mrsD....I kept nothing in the original carton. I would clip out the cooking directions & place in a sealed bag. They are pain to get rid of but if I can do it,,,well anyone can. The only time I have resorted to nasty chemicals is when it comes to FIRE ANTS! They hurt my pets! They are so evil!
