The Indian meal moth is a common pest that infests stored food products, particularly grains, cereals, and dried fruits. Adults are small, measuring about 1/2 inch long, with distinctive reddish-brown wings. They are often found in kitchens and pantries, where they can quickly multiply if food is not stored properly. The larvae of the Indian meal moth are the primary culprits behind the damage, as they feed on food items and leave behind webbing and droppings. To prevent infestations, it is essential to keep food in airtight containers and regularly check for signs of these pests.
