The Indian meal moth is one of the many storage food pests that invade our pantries. Like other storage food pests, their primary food sources are cereal, soup mixes, bread, pasta, rice, flour, spices, dried fruits, nuts, birdseed, and dry pet food. Many storage food pests have the ability to bite through thin plastic and cardboard. This means even sealed bags and containers may be infested. It is recommended to store these potential food sources in hard plastic or glass containers that can be closed tightly with an airtight lid. Successful control of Indian meal moths and other like pests are dependent on finding the infested food sources before any improvement can be expected.
