I call them "flittermoths" which isn't the correct name. Sounds like indian
meal worms.

My solution was to log onto www.gardensalive.com and buy pantry pest traps.
Use them as directed, and no more moths.

From what I could tell, they arrived with catfood, and infested a LOT of
food. I had to throw out a lot of grains, cereals, breakfast cereal, corn
meal, flour, etc.

If I didn't swat or "clap" them in the moth stage, I'd get inch long worms
crawling across the ceiling. Made for some expensive cat food.

Interesting. I get little fluttering moths every year and just about
this time they are a real problem. If it weren't for the fact that
there's also a mosquito problem, maybe it wouldn't bother me as much,
but I hate those pesky little moths. It's troublesome to try to
annihilate them. I think they are breeding and the larva are growing in
the house somewhere, but I don't have a clue where. I used to think they
were getting into foodstuffs. I used to notice larva in plastic bags of
food items, but haven't noticed that problem in recent times. I no
longer keep such things in plastic bags, but in bottles instead.

I have to think there's something in your fireplace that those moths'
larva are eating.
