How to get rid of food moths from your cupboard?
You open a packet of pasta… and a little butterfly flies away? Don’t panic, you’re not alone! These discreet but tenacious intruders are food moths, also known as food moths. And once installed in the pantry, they can quickly turn your kitchen into a real headache.
Fortunately, there are natural, effective and easy-to-implement methods to say goodbye to these pests without toxic products. Here are our top tips for a clean, healthy and sustainably protected kitchen.
Why do these moths invite themselves into my home?
Food moths love dry products such as flour, rice, biscuits, cereals… They can happen:
- Through the open windows, attracted by the smell of food.
- In already contaminated store-bought packages.
- In a warm, poorly ventilated environment, such as a kitchen or pantry.
Once present, they lay up to 400 eggs, and the larvae develop directly into your food products. The result: rapid proliferation if we do not intervene quickly.
