I had bought a sheaf of wheat back in the fall and in my haste to put away Thanksgiving decorations and put up Christmas decorations, I stuck the wheat sheaf in a plastic bag and stuck it in a spare bedroom closet. We kept seeing these little moths flying around and I finally found the source. Yep, there were hundreds in the plastic bag, which promptly went into a sealed bag and into the trash. I'm posting this story as a warning to others. We seem to be almost rid of them 3 days later but I can't figure out what they are and if I should continue to look for a problem in the house. It is silvery-beige and barely a quarter inch long. By the way I have posted several items here lately and I greatly appreciate the swift response. |
