Edit: I seem to have got onto the moth issue in the pantry (if there was one) by moving the potentially affected food to the fridge to kill any eggs before throwing it out. Not seeing any bodies in the pantry trap. Edit: Wait no, there's a couple.
But I still see one or two of the little bastards flying around the dining area and my room, plus some corpses in the wardrobe traps. It was a good call to randomly throw those things into an order when I did. No idea how I managed to get clothes moths because the only likely source coming in recently has been dry goods and I don't leave anything open without flyscreens. Unless they hitched a ride on a single clothing item from Kmart.
I haven't had the energy to hot wash/dry everything and do a full vacuum yet but I'm going to chuck the two op shop wool coats I have in the dryer to kill anything in there and bag them. (I know they should have been safely packed away already but my health has been arse.) Dry heat shouldn't shrink items, I think it's only if they go in wet. Then I'm going to keep decluttering and organising to ease more regular vacs.
