This weekend, I faced an infestation of pantry moths.  I hate moths.  (To be honest, I hate all bugs that don't have the good sense to stay outside.  Once you're in my house, you're mine.)

Pantry moths go after cereals — opened or boxed — and can make quite a mess.  They fly slowly but they breed quickly.

The first step in dealing with them is getting rid of the products that are infested.  They need to be in a sealed garbage bag in the outside trash can.  Washing things down after disposing of the products is a good idea.  I used a weak bleach solution.

A friend of mine also tracked down an excellent trap called Pantry Pest that traps moths so you can discard them.  After 24 hours, the difference is noticeable.
