1. General information about flour moths

The flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) is a typical food pest that occurs particularly in kitchens, pantries, and storage rooms. It primarily attacks flour, grain products, baking ingredients, nuts, and dried fruits .

The larvae of the meal moth are the actual pests: They devour food, leaving behind crumbs of feces and webs that render the food inedible. An infestation can quickly spread to various foodstuffs if not addressed in time.

2. Detect flour moth infestation – typical signs

You can recognize a flour moth infestation by these typical signs:

  • Small, grey moths (approx. 10–14 mm in size) that fly around in the kitchen or pantry
  • Larvae or webs in flour, grain or baking ingredients
  • Clumped food due to threads and feces crumbs
  • Traces of gnawing in packaging (e.g. small holes in bags or boxes)
  • Increased occurrence of moths in the evening hours

As soon as flour moths appear in the house, quick action is required to prevent further spread.

4. GREEN GUARDIA products against flour moths

GREEN GUARDIA parasitic wasps against food moths

Our tiny parasitic wasps (Trichogramma evanescens) are the most effective and 100% natural solution for meal moths. They lay their eggs directly inside the moth eggs, preventing new larvae from developing. Once their work is done, the parasitic wasps disappear on their own – safe for humans, pets, and food.

GREEN GUARDIA sticky traps against food moths

The sticky traps attract male meal moths with pheromones and reliably trap them. This prevents mating and significantly reduces infestations. At the same time, the traps serve as an early warning system for quickly detecting an infestation.

👉 The combination of parasitic wasps (against the eggs) and sticky traps (against the adult moths) is the most sustainable method to permanently get rid of meal moths and protect supplies .

✅ Conclusion: The flour moth is one of the most persistent pests in the kitchen. With consistent prevention and GREEN GUARDIA solutions – parasitic wasps and sticky traps – flour moths can be effectively, naturally, and chemical-free controlled.
