Foods like beans, corn, wheat, and other grains are staple foods many people depend on, but Angoumois Grain Moths can infest stored products from the granary to our pantries. A single moth can invade packages and lay up to 300 eggs, creating widespread infestations that will ruin foods and render them inedible.

Adult Angoumois grain moths are small, like other pantry moths, with a wingspan of about 16 millimeters. They are yellowish-white with pale yellow forewings.

The larvae, when fully grown, are about 3 millimeters long. They have white bodies with yellow-brown heads.

If your home has become infested with pantry pests, you likely brought in a package from the store that was already infested.

Angoumois grain moths infest a variety of stored products, but they prefer grains including corn, wheat, beans, and rice. After hatching, the larvae burrow into grains and develop within. After pupating into adult moths, they create distinct, round exit holes in the grain as they make their way out.

When looking for Angoumois grain moths, check your foods for these exit holes and for any moths themselves. When larvae have infested food, the food may become discolored. The larvae will also release strong, foul odors.

Angoumois grain moths don’t live long as adults, so note any flying activity, as these pests are likely flying closer to breeding and egg-laying sites.

To treat an Angoumois grain moth infestation, the first step is to clean out your pantry. Start by throwing out boxed and bagged foodstuffs.

That sounds extreme, but if you’ve found at least one infested package, odds are there are moths and larvae in your other packaged foods.

Set aside everything else from the pantry, then vacuum all cracks and crevices in the pantry’s shelving. Small pantry pests may be found in these tight spaces as they travel from product to product. Be sure to throw out the vacuum’s contents outdoors when you’re done.

Wipe down the pantry shelves with water to clean up any food residue. Do not use any strong detergents or bleach, as these will keep pests away from the pesticides you’ll apply.

Once the pantry shelves are clean, create long-lasting control with Novacide Aerosol. This product not only acts as an insecticide, but also as an Insect Growth Regulator, or IGR. Apply Novacide as a spot treatment along the edges of your shelves. Just shake the can, hold it upside-down, and spray a barrier where shelving meets the wall. Moths that make contact with the spray will have their nervous systems impacted and be rendered unable to function. Once it’s dried on the shelf surfaces, Novacide leaves a residual chemical effect that eliminates adult moths, prevents egg-laying, and stunts the growth of larvae, preventing them from developing into reproductive adults. Without a fresh generation of adult moths to reproduce, the infestation will cease when the remaining pests die over time. One application of Novacide will protect treated areas for up to seven months.

Once your chemical applications have dried, set up Pro-Pest Pantry Moth & Beetle Traps in your pantry to lure and catch flying moths. These traps contain pheromones that attract many stored product pests. Simply peel off the wax paper, then fold the trap into a tent. You can set the trap on a shelf or hang it to catch different crawling or flying insects. One trap will cover an area of up to 300 square feet. Any moths in the area will be drawn to the trap and will get stuck on the glue. Dispose of these traps when full or when 90 days have passed.
