Dear LiveJournal,

My house is infested with moths. They're 0.5-1" long, dark brown with some light brown spots. They pretty much own the pantry. Help? :(

Love,
Saikura

You might want to inquire about some pest control services and have a one-time spray done. D:

They said we'd have to get rid of all of the food... and then kill them via extreme temperatures and put traps everywhere. My parents (moreso my mother) weren't too happy on the food part, as we have a lot of food there and our grocery shopping is from WI to IL ($$$$$$$). So, as of right now, it's moth-trap-hunting for now.

I think the moth clan moved to the attic. D:

Oh, Lord. I'd run the hell away. D:

I ran. I hosed down all the plastic containers, drowned any remaining buggers overnight, and soaped/bleached the containers.

My mom was not happy that I threw away the rice, so I asked my dad for support... and he said he agreed with me! (Didn't want to eat the dead eggs and the like.) Apparently the moths have moved elsewhere around the house now, so we're looking to find those pantry moth traps. =/
