Just found an indian meal moth larvae in a room in our house...?

Question

SO GROSS! what sort of environment do they tend to hide? I am trying to locate the source but can't find them. from the info I have found looking them up they look like they are going to pupate soon, which has me worried because I really don't want 100s of moths :s the little wormy larvae are bad enough! help?? :(

Answer 1

i know what you mean! has to be a food source somewhere and they can be in old food stuffs like cereal, rice,pet food and pretty much anything like that, anyways, try getting a pheromone trap they usually just catch the males, but it cuts down on annoying flying moths and i think i have seen traps that catch both male and female, no idea what they use as a lure for that one. best of luck!
