Household PestsHi
Great website. Cool looking moths. These things just invaded our house the other day. Any idea what they are? Thanks for the help!

Hi Frank,
This is an Indian Meal Moth, Plodia interpunctella. It is a common household pest since it infests stored cereal and grain products, including pet food. Our own recent infestations included oat meal and corn meal.

We live part time in a home in the Caribbean. Every day I say to myself “whatsthatbug”, so needless to say, I love your website and will visit often. And thank you for the quick response to my Canadian moth question! I’m throwing out flour as we speak. You rock!!!
