Step 3: Add Bay Leaves (30 seconds)
Place fresh bay leaves in each container of dry goods and on pantry shelves. The scent naturally repels pantry moths and keeps them from returning.
🧂 Bonus Natural Repellents
- Cloves or lavender sachets also help keep moths away.
- Airtight containers make it impossible for moths to invade your food.
🚫 What NOT to Do
- Don’t just kill the flying moths — the larvae are the real problem.
- Don’t leave food in torn bags or boxes. Transfer everything to sealed jars or containers.
Prevention = Peace of Mind
Once you clean and treat your pantry, do a quick check every few weeks. Keeping things sealed, fresh, and bay leaf-guarded will stop future infestations before they start.
Final Tip: Keep a small open jar of baking soda with a few bay leaves in the back of your pantry. It absorbs odor and deters pests — naturally!
