I've used basically everything in Emily's great list that's linked above. It sucks throwing out food, but I had to get pretty hard core to get rid of those nasty buggers. You do have to be vigilant about putting EVERYTHING that's opened in a sealed canister, but since I've done that, haven't had a problem.

Sometimes moths can manage to get into tightly sealed canisters -- I learned the hard way. I never had a problem again after I used pheromone moths traps like these - you can get them at any hardware store:

They are completely odorless and the piece with the pheromone is smaller than a dime. Just one on the top of my refrigerator (where you couldn't see it) worked great.

We had them in a house we were house-sitting. We threw out what was obviously infested, and everything else we stored in the fridge or freezer until we were sure we were rid of the infestation. We bought a bunch of these (http://www.amazon.com/Pantry-Moth-Traps-Set-Two/dp/B0019R0VKM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1327440889&sr=8-3) and placed them in the cabinets and nooks and crannies of our kitchen to get rid of the moths. They're pheromones on a gluey surface so the moths fly in and stick.

I work for a pest management company and I have had some experience with these moths. Normally these moths can be eliminated without pesticides but it does take some work. First of all, you do not have to throw everything out (unless you feel the need to). If you are able to freeze the stored products, the larvae will not be able to survive a few days in the freezer or outside in the garage (below freezing is necessary). Also, even if the container is not open, it is still possible to be the source of infestation.

Ok, to start you need to gather the potentially infested materials. This is including grains, flours, granola, pancake mixes, bread mixes, spices and seasonings. Think grain, wheat, oat, flour or other dry stored products. Any thing you want to keep, freeze and/or put in a sealed plastic container like Tupperware. Plastic bags won't do the job. Next, make sure to clean out the pantry and cabinets. It is best to vacuum all of the nooks and crannies to make sure there is not stay food sources for these guys. Make sure to wipe down the shelves with hot soapy water. Bleach does not affect them, so don't waste the time with that. This should eliminate the moths with in a few weeks. If you want to hurry up the process, try to find pheromone traps at a hardware store. Essentially they are sticky traps that attract the males to get stuck and thus making them unable to reproduce and reducing the population.

Now if you continue to have issues after this, there are some other options. Check storage area for things like wreaths, children’s (dough) are projects or even mice storing food can be potential sources of these moths. Good luck!

I lived in a place that had this issue and it was extremely annoying finding dead bugs, larvae, eggs, everywhere. I don't want to paint the impression that we were dirty or anything. The complete opposite in fact. We were super clean but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get rid of them. I would even find them in packages I vacuum sealed! We threw away all the pantry items twice and they always came back. Extremely frustrating.

We had a huge infestation this summer. Obviously throw everything out that has visible larvae/moths and put the rest in the freezer for a couple days. Since they can chew through paper and plastic transfer purchases to better containers when you bring them home. Storing grains in mason jars works well for us, (and let's you know what is bringing them in when you find moths in the jars-- we no longer shop at that Co-Op...). If you have wooden cupboards, consider painting/sealing the interior if possible. Any little crevice, crack, or hole in the wood is a breeding ground and safe haven. We doused our wood cupboards with lysol, scrubbed with water, sprayed them down with a peppermint oil/water mix, then popped some water-soaked cedar blocks on each shelf. Overkill? Maybe. But they haven't come back. Also make sure to regularly clean out your cupboards so there aren't old grains and loose lingering crumbs around. Check your pet food, too.

Oh, and keep your eye out for the telltale webbing: if you open a box and grains are mysteriously suspended mid-air or you see actual webbing, there *are* larvae crawling around in there.

I moved into an apartment that was infested with pantry moths and I can't recommend the pheremone moth traps highly enough. I cleaned and threw away food for months with no success but as soon as I started using the traps, it got better.

Wow - thanks for posting this! We've had moths in our kitchen for a couple of weeks, and couldn't figure out what they were. Clearly we've got a bad case of pantry moths! Heading to the hardware store tomorrow!

We had an infestation in our pantry last year. At first we were naive and tried to only toss only the affected items, but soon realized we had to throw out everything that wasn't in a sealed jar. We emptied the pantry, sprayed it with pesticide, let it dry and wiped it clean, then put everything into sealed canning jars of various sizes, and that took care of it. We've become a little more lax since then and it's been okay, but for the most part anything grain-y needs to be in a sealed container. I know someone above said moths can still get into those, but we've never had that happen.

BAY LEAVES.
Better than the pheromone traps but I use both in conjunction just to be safe.
The bay leaves wiped out the moths permanently in my mother's cupboard after the pheromone traps worked somewhat.
Slightly crush the bay leaves (5-6 works) with your hand.
I put them in a stainless steel parmesan cheese shaker so the scent would waft and they're be no spills.
I refresh the bay leaves once every 1-2 years.
I've been using them for 5 years now.

And I never had to spray, paint or douse the cupboards with anything.
Soap and water was enough.

I second the bay leaves. I had great luck with them. My pantry moths were feeding on the bird seeds so I put leaves in the seeds, both the container they were stored and where the birds eat. I put a few on top of the cage and for good measure, put some under the bed (don't ask me why, i dont what made me do that) and my moth problem went away.

I had incidents with moths. First time I sprayed/wiped everything down with peppermint oil and vinegar and put bay leaves everywhere. That didn't stop everything so I purchased these which got rid of the current outbreak.

Pheromone moth traps as everyone else has said. It's the way to go, and they're pretty cheap on Amazon.
