Default pantry moths

For the past few months, I've had an infestation of pantry moths and
their worm larvae in my kitchen. I've cleaned out the cabinets and
relentlessly verified that all food was sealed effectively.
I tried the sticky traps that had phermone lures and initially they
were quite effective in luring and trapping these moths on the sticky
carboard traps. Lately, it seems the moths are getting smarter and
avoiding these traps. The number of months hanging out in my kitchen
is increasing. I'm reluctant to just spray insectiside all over the
place, especially around food.
I'm looking for other ideas to get rid of them.


Get rid of whatever the larvae are feeding on, and kill the adults with a
flyswatter.
