How to Get Rid of Pantry Moths (Butterflies) Naturally in 2 Minutes

Ever opened your pantry and been greeted by fluttering little moths or found webs in your flour, rice, or cereal? Yep — you’ve got pantry moths, also known as Indian meal moths. While they might look harmless, these sneaky invaders can ruin your dry goods in no time.

But don’t panic — you can get rid of them naturally, safely, and fast — in as little as 2 minutes. Here’s how.


🦋 Why They Show Up

Pantry moths are drawn to grains, cereals, flour, nuts, dried fruit, and pet food. They sneak in through open packages or even store-bought goods. Once inside, they lay eggs that hatch into larvae — the real problem — which spin silky webs inside your food.


✅ The 2-Minute Natural Fix: Bay Leaves + Vinegar

Step 1: Do a Quick Inspection (30 seconds)
Check open bags and containers for signs of larvae or webbing. Toss anything suspicious to stop the infestation from spreading.

Step 2: Wipe Down Shelves with Vinegar (1 minute)
Mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil if you have it (moths hate the smell). Wipe down pantry walls, corners, and shelves.
