Indian Meal Moth Lavae

The Indian meal Moth larvae infest a variety of dry food items of vegetable origin, such as cereals, bread, pasta, rice, couscous, flour, spices or dried fruits and nuts. More unusual recorded foods include chocolate and cocoa beans, coffee substitute, biscuits and tea bag boxes.
Food that is infested with the Indian meal moth will usually have the tell tale sign of Frass. Frass is a cobweb like substance that the Lavae spin, and often causes dry food fragments to stick together in its packaging.
After Indian meal moth larvae or moths have been found, it is vital to to identify and throw away food items that are not in very tightly sealed packaging. The Indian meal moths are capable of squeezing into surprisingly tight gaps, including sealed bags by chewing through them.

Indian Meal Moth Adult

Indian meal moths are notoriously hard to get rid of, and often crawl on walls & ceilings and spin cocoons in rooms other than the kitchen or pantry where they hatched. Last instar larvae are able to travel significant distances before they pupate. When identifying the source of an infestation, the search  cannot be limited to the immediate area where pupae are discovered.
None of the stages of the organism (eggs, larvae, adults) is very temperature-tolerant and all can be killed by a week of freezing or by brief heating in a microwave or conventional oven when such treatment is practical.
