I’ve despised myself for being too sensitive to take lives when I benefit from the killing of animals every day… it seemed like a perverted and unnatural existence where I was insulated from the reality of death. Un-animal behavior.

Reassessing it a bit, though… not being numbed to death, to feeling anguish every time, that is also part of its reality, is it not? And for animals, not killing and being a strict herbivore have never been synonymous. Scavengers aren’t committing a moral wrong, just acting according to their nature. I can still hope there is a place for my own nature in the world.

#‘are you okay’ i live in the woods where there is a constant flow of bugs threatening my lifestyle #moths in the pantry beetles on my wool #but killing just one leaves a mark on my heart the memories haunt me #can’t do this anymore #wg speaks

there was a fucking worm in my soup

#shortext #JESUS CHRIST. #Like I thought the million hairs it had was bad but A FUCKING WORM GOT IN THERE SOMEHOW #It was a pantry moth worm at least but oh my goddddd dude #I like eating insects when I KNOW IM EATING THEM. NOT SOME RAW ASS WORM THAT FELL IN THERE #NO I DIDNT EAT IT #However I'm not eating food

I would have just cleaned my kitchen tonight if I’d known my brain would just keep me awake playing out in detail the steps of cleaning my kitchen from the moment I conceived the plan until, apparently, dawn

#why does my brain perseverate on every multi step process #i want to sleep so bad #i know there are several steps involved in deep cleaning my pantry #but none of them are hard #and i don’t need to get predistracted from the task #by also thinking through all the steps of refilling my cleaning supplies #and cleaning my stovetop #and buying more disposable wipes #those will distract me enough from the actual task while i’m doing it #i’m very good at all these tasks shut up brain #anyway there are moths and I want the moths to go away #but i really think i should be allowed not to do something the second i think of it #without being tortured forever #i’m in executive function hell #and the real task i should be working on now #is getting back on my school year sleep schedule

@marshmallow-fluffy​ submitted: Do you know who this fine fellow is? My family's called them baby moths all my life, but I just consciously realized that can't be right, because moths come from caterpillars and therefore are always full moth sized. In [removed]. Please remove location

Lol yes adult moths do not start smaller and get larger throughout their lives. As you said, baby moths are caterpillars. This friend is an Indian meal moth, also called a pantry moth, flour moth, or grain moth. It’s a common pest of stored dry foods! If you see a lot of them, you may want to check your cupboard including sealed containers because they can and will chew through them.

confession: i get irrationally angry when i see butterflies because they aren't my good friend, the moth

#i'm normal! #i think it's because idk. #butterflies represent Beauty and Change etcetc. - people love them #but moths? moths are seen as pest animals. they're seen as Gross. #and it's like. hey. maybe don't be so mean to moths. #don't just appreciate the butterfly #moths are small cute animals with big ears and fuzzy thoraxes and they come in pretty colors #and they have never done anything wrong ever. except for pantry moths #get outta my pantry. dude

[magioffire]

[grimark]

[knifegremliin]

To be clear. All bugs are important and to eradicate an entire species would have severe effects on the environment and be incredibly destructive. But. Pantry moths really fucking test me

6 Effective Ways of Getting Rid of Pantry Moths

Are you tired of seeing pantry moths hovering around when you open an old storage food box? This is the time when you need to take immediate action. Pantry moths can be troublesome damaging a variety of foods such as dried fruits, bird seed, whole grains, nuts, etc. If you have a doubt that your house has been infested by pantry moths, your first plan of action should be to act quickly. Because the pantry moth life cycle is short, you would be surprised to see how they multiply, making Pantry Moth Removal in Adelaide necessary.

Here is a list of ways in which you can control the pantry moths in your kitchen, pantry and home, have a look!

Keep an eye on your pantry.

It's all too common for us to have expired food stored at the back of overcrowded shelves for extended periods of time. Ensuring that we timely check what we have and moving pantry containers around will not provide these pantry moths a favourable environment to grow and multiply.  

2. Get rid of infested food

All dry goods that are packaged open should be discarded. Also, throw away any bags and boxes that have holes in them that you did not make. Examine the following items carefully: If you see even one pantry moth near a specific cupboard, it is possible that all the food products that haven’t been stored air-tight in the area have been damaged by pests.

Throw away any infested foods you find, and if you find larvae on the outside of cans, clean them with undiluted vinegar. This will quickly kill the larvae. Put infested items in your outdoor garbage can. Do not put them in your kitchen trash can as this will harm them.

Keep your containers clean

Ensure that you thoroughly wash the reusable food containers frequently. If you're thinking about how to kill pantry moth eggs and larvae, a thorough cleaning of containers with hot soapy water will remove any pests that weren't thrown out with the infested food.

This is a critical step in pantry moth eradication that should not be overlooked. Pantry moth eggs are tiny and easily overlooked by humans!

Clear out your pantry and kitchen cabinets.

Vacuum all surfaces and notice signs of moth infestation in various places such as cracks and crevices and cupboard corners. Please keep the undersides of baseboards, shelves and floors in mind. Adult flying pantry moths are easy to spot in kitchen cabinets, but pantry moth eggs are tough to find. Getting rid of them in kitchen cupboards also means removing their eggs!

When emptying your vacuum, remember to wash out the dust container if it is a bagless model. If you used smaller attachments, you should thoroughly clean them as well to ensure that there are no sticky pantry moth eggs remaining.

Then, using a disinfectant or watered-down bleach, clean your shelving and all surfaces and allow them to air dry. What commonly causes these pests to reappear is improper cleaning at this stage – so try doing a thorough clean up and you would mostly need to do it just once - rather than wondering why these moths have reappeared.  

Deal with shelf liners

Discard away shelf liners that are paper-based as they may harbour pantry moth larvae and/or eggs. If you are using plastic ones, they can be thoroughly washed and scrubbed in soapy water. It's best to wait until you fully get rid of moths before replacing your shelf liners, or to avoid using them altogether.

Alter your storage methods.

Cold temperatures can easily get the moths killed! In order to get rid of them and their future breeding, it is necessary to get all the grain products in the fridge or freezer. Once you start keeping these food out of your pantry, you will notice no pantry moths at all.  

Tips to Keep These Pantry Moths Away by Our Pest Control Brighton Team
