- 1). Remove all packaged food from the pantry.
- 2). Throw away anything you don't need to keep. Sort through the rest to check for moth larvae or casings. Or place it in the freezer for 4 to 7 days to kill any moth larvae feeding inside.
- 3). Place the food in glass containers with flip-on or screw-on sealed tops. Pantry moths can eat through paper, cardboard or plastic to get at food.
- 4). Clean the pantry thoroughly with diluted bleach (1 tsp. per quart of water). Remove the shelves. Check and scrub drawer tracks, cracks, nooks and crannies.
- 5). Clean the containers that you removed. Check them carefully for moth larvae, eggs or casings. Bag any that you find and throw them away outdoors.
- 6). Replace everything on the shelves.
- 7). Place bay leaves in the corners and intermittently along the walls of the pantry. They will deter the pantry moths from laying eggs.
