[substeps] The easiest way to spot a pantry moth problem is to actually see an adult moth flying around your pantry. This usually happens at night rather than during the day. They usually crawl onto wall frames, just below the surface. [substeps] These moths cannot jump, will climb walls, and will eat any dirty food materials. Adult moths have the wings of a female moth outlined in reddish-brown-yellow legs. Larvae should be around 3/4 inch (1.6 cm) long.
