9-20-11: 12 moths, 0 larvae, 2 pupae
Exciting News: 2 of the moths were in a sealed ziplock of prepackaged cereal bars. I had apparently missed the pupae in the creases of the cereal bar packages. This is good because it proves it was worthwhile for me to obsessively get rid of all the boxes and bag things up. The new metamorphosed moths were trapped in the bag and easy for me to find. Also, I of course inspected all the cereal bar packaging and found the 2 old cocoons as well as 1 pupae that I violently killed before it could complete it's transformation into a moth. Small victory, but I will take it!

3 of the moths were in sealed bags. Yahoo! Got you suckers! One of them was in a bag of lightbulbs and we could not find the abandoned cocoon. I think it is inside the CFC lightbulb unit that has tiny holes in it. The whole family is pretty much obsessed with inspecting the pantry now. We are bonding over pests. Nice!

My FB status on 9-27: Just watched an excited male (or possibly lesbian) moth fly right into the pheromone trap, get stuck, struggle and give up. I could smoosh it and put it out of it's misery, but I'm going to let it languish and die slowly. I've been pushed past my limit with these assholes.
