5/16/2001 The Indian Meal Moth Contact: Dr. James E. Sargent One of the most common pests of seed, grain, feed, food, and many other commodities in the world is the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella). Finding Indian meal moths is easy, especially with a pheromone lure. The Indian meal moth pheromone lure is strongly attractive to male moths at sunset or shortly afterwards. See what happens in the evening when you take an Indian meal moth pheromone lure into a grocery store or a pet store or any store that sells birdseed. Finding moths is easy . . . controlling a damaging infestation is very difficult. © 2001-2005, Copesan Services, Inc. All Rights Reserved. View our privacy or legal statements.

The Webbing Clothes Moth The webbing clothes moth gets its name from the way the larva builds webbing around itself, and eats a diet of clothing fibers.

Animal-based fabrics such as silks and wools are their favorite, but ...
