PANTRY PESTS Since the blog is new we need a format so we will cover interior pests since its winter we covered mice lets look at pantry pests dry storage .
These are the pests witch get into cereals ,spices ,birdseed ,sunflower seed ,flour
INDIAN MEAL MOTHS these are one of the most common kitchen pantry pests
they come from old outdated products left on shelves too long and open boxes or containers cereal flour and old sunflower seed not stored properly PREVENTION always go through your kitchen storage every six months
check older stuff throw it out before it gets buggy. Store your stuff in plastic sealed containers mark a date on them if you really want to stay on top of it .
sunflower seed is best kept in a cool garage out of the heat of the house really important if your using big large bags witch hang around a long time .
TREATMENT Only one treatment for these guys.Thats  indian meal moth pheromone traps .You can get these in any good hardware store online or big department store in the interior pest section .There easy to use and treat the problem with its a glue trap really you hang up it has a lure in it and attracts the moths. They get attracted to the trap and get stuck in it let them fill up for a couple days throw them out that easy pretty simple and anybody can do it .
but make sure the source is eliminated find the product that caused it and  throw out the bad product
