Still seeing moths but I’m letting mealworms loose soon seee if they eat the larvae or maybe house centipedes will do the job.

I vote for letting a house centipede have a go and take pictures.
I’ve seen one sitting right outside the roach colony never caught it catching a moth but I’d like to see it!!! The dubia are multiplying with heatpad turned off.

There grain moths . Not sure how I got them but they won’t seem to die off .
well, its the grain. The humidity. Its in the grains. If you have an infestation, they could be in the home: rice, oats… anything that is not sealed. Its common for people to get these in pantries.

anything that isnt stored in sealed glass is at risk. Cereals, etc.

your feeders and tarantula enclosures become a good egg laying home. It can take while to see numbers go down until you find the source.

usualy people have cluttered pantries with badly closed bags of grains.

if that doesnt help you find the source, the problem is somewhere else. Thats if youre sure they are pantry moths.

do you clean your pantry?
