The costliest mistake you can make with pantry moths: ignore them.

Pantry moths are genuine pests that often carry harmful bacteria. They can smuggle into your home inside food purchased from your common grocery store, and can wreak havoc in your kitchen, pantry and elsewhere throughout your abode. Your food is their home—where they do the unimaginable—until they chew their way out and find another food source to contaminate.

You can’t just throw out a couple of defiled items to eradicate moths. You must disrupt the mating cycle by eliminating the male moths, or they’ll be right back.

Dr. Killigan’s Premium Pantry Moth Traps use the strongest pheromone attractant and the stickiest glue, drawing in unsuspecting males and stopping the breeding process.

The proprietary formula behind Dr. Killigan’s Premium Pantry Moth Traps

The larvae of pantry moths are the main problem in an infestation. While adult moths do not consume food, their larvae are voracious consumers of dried goods including cereals, dried fruit, grains, flour, nuts, seeds and spices.

With a proprietary blend of double-potent pheromones and the stickiest glue, Dr. Killigan's Premium Pantry Moth Traps lure and catch adult male moths, and break the cycle of reproduction.

Pheromones are extremely delicate. Our specific glue and pheromones must be properly mixed with each other while maintaining the integrity of each component. This involves a patented technique that depends on a certain temperature. The end product is a pantry moth attractant that is incredibly powerful and stops pantry moths in their tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

For tackling pantry moth problems, Dr. Killigan's Premium Pantry Moth Traps are recommended. These traps use potent pheromones to lure and capture the moths, effectively interrupting their reproduction cycle. Begin by giving your pantry a thorough cleaning and disposing of any food that's been contaminated. Install the traps as per the provided instructions, focusing on areas with high moth activity. Regularly inspect the traps, replacing them every three months or sooner if they fill up. Consistently checking the traps and maintaining a clean, well-organized pantry, with food stored in sealed containers, will help keep moths at bay.

Placing moth traps in your kitchen, pantry and cupboards will stop the mating process by trapping males. In order to eliminate the overall problem (females and juveniles included), it is critical to find any contaminated food sources. Look inside plastic bags, cereal boxes, and in the corners of your pantry and cupboards. Look for small globs of webbing with tiny black dots of feces. Remove any contaminated food sources immediately and dispose of them in a sealed bag in your outdoor trash receptacle. Then clean all areas of your kitchen, pantry and cupboards with a simple cleaning mixture of vinegar and water.

Pantry moth larvae are typically small, with a white or cream coloration, and are often found within or around pantry staples such as grains, flour and nuts. These larvae are known to produce webbing around food items, which can result in grains or flour sticking together. The presence of these larvae or their webbing is a telltale sign of a pantry moth infestation.

Pantry moths, such as the Indian meal moth, commonly enter homes through open doors, windows, or small gaps in the home's structure, like those around dryer vents or plumbing. They can also infest homes by arriving in contaminated food packaging or food items bought from stores. Once inside, they find food in pantries, ideal for laying eggs and multiplying.

These moths are drawn to a variety of dry foods—grains, nuts, legumes, cocoa, chocolate, tea, spices, dried fruits and veggies, and even tobacco. Signs of an infestation include the moths' webbing on food packages or inside containers, which often results in food clumping together. The damaging larvae stage of pantry moths grows quickly, resembling maggots more than caterpillars, and can grow up to 1.7 cm long.

If the trap's glue ends up on your skin, don't worry—it's non-toxic, though quite sticky. To remove it, apply vegetable oil to the affected area and gently rub it in. Then, cleanse the area with soap and warm water. You may need to repeat this process to completely remove the glue.

The traps are designed to remain effective for about three months after they're placed. Yet, if you notice that the traps have filled up or if there seems to be an increase in moth activity, it may be time for an early replacement. The frequency of replacing the traps can vary based on the severity of your moth infestation; more significant issues may necessitate quicker replacements. Unopened traps retain their effectiveness for around three years. Regularly inspecting the traps will assist in managing and controlling moth populations effectively.
