Fucking hell, my apartment has been beseiged by these little goddam moths for a few months now and I cant seem to find where the hell they're coming from! I've cleaned and sealed everything food related, killed them by the dozens, and yet the fuckers keep showing up. Hell I've even let a couple spiders run around in attempt to kill them off. No bones.
The wings are tan with little black spots on them. Any ideas on how to get rid of these goddamn things? |

Dog food?  . Those got tossed. The bastages are flitting around my pantry rack, but there is nothing there for them to eat, which is fucking confusing.

Check the corners on your ceilings in your pantry, and kitchen. It sounds like Indian meal moths they are incredibly hard to interrupt their breeding cycle. I got them from bird food.
Took vacuuming their eggs from ceilings, corners and throwing away things like bags, and paper they had laid eggs on. |

You need a cat. ETA: I see you have cats. Why aren't they eating them? The only drain I have is in the kitchen which is on the other side of the apt (sans bathroom area) Havent seen any in there. They did get into a pack of cornmeal a long time ago, but that stuff is long gone. |
They eat cardboard. You need to unleash the chemical weapons. RAID.

Check all your food, even things you thought were new and sealed. I had those little ants in my pantry, which is stocked wall to wall. I couldn't figure out where the hell they were coming from.
I spent days going through everything with a fine tooth comb. Finally found a brand new container of dry rub (that had sugar in it) I saw an ant on it. I took it outside and opened it and there were so many ants it made my skin crawl. I removed everything, thoroughly cleaned the shelves, top and bottom, wiped it down with a good bug killer, let it completely dry. I put a lot of stuff in containers. Haven't had a bug since. I was really pissed because I had to throw quite a bit of stuff out. Those fuckers got into things that weren't even edible. If I'm not mistaken, I've seen bird food get infested with flying thingys. |

| I have the same problem. I got one of these and hunt the damn things. It isn't getting rid of them entirely, but blasting the little fuckers to kingdom come is a lot of fun, so I don't mind the problem so much any more. |
