Lol. Yes I will do the extremely tedious job of cleaning out my food cupboards tomorrow and wiping down packets. Most dried foods are in lock and lock boxes (after last time) but I got lax and have loads of half open packets of cornflour, icing sugar etc. The fact there was a drowned moth just below the food cupboard means it could well have lays eggs in there first.

Maybe try and identify your moths - they might be some other type. The telltale sign of the food moths is when they saunter into the hamster cage as if it’s home (which it is!).
