Default Bugs in the pantry

Okay, I thought I had this taken care of but apparently not

We have these bugs. You know, the ones that are little worm like
things that turn into moths? They like grains and stuff. Well, I don't
know how, but we have them. Bad. Again

Thre first time, we cleaned out the whole pantry, checked everything
(or at least thought we did) and washed the walls with water / bleach.
It was good for a month or 2, and now they are back. We are at our
wit's end now.

Any ideas on how the hell to get rid of these once and for all? I
really can't firebomb them, as much as I'd like to, LOL

Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue. We're not dirty people,
and this makes me feel like we are

Thanks in advance,
Chris


Odds are good you didn't get them all. Throw away all contains of dry
food like cereal, flour, etc. As well as dried fruit and things like
that. And pet food in bags. Anything that is in cardboard or thin
plastic inside cardboard. Odds are good it has moth eggs or larva in
it. You wnat to eat that? When you replace it store the replacement
in tight sealed containers like tupperware or glass with solid lids.
Mostly they lay eggs directly in or very near food so the larva have
something to eat when they hatch.

When you shop look around the the store carefully. Particularly the
dried goods and pet food sections. If you see signs of these moths
then shop somewhere else. Othewise you will just keep bringing them
home.
