I am very sorry to hear all of this, especially about Fitzgerald. I will never begrudge anyone the time they need to grieve for a loved one. You and your family have my deepest condolences.

I had a moth infestation almost 10 years ago. The source was larvae that hatched from my dog’s Milk Bones. I’m not sure I had the same moths you do, but here’s what I did.

1. Every cereal-based product went in an air-tight container. That included rice, flour, cold cereal, pasta, and especially Milk Bones. Instead of using a dedicated container for things like crackers and cookies, I used zip lock bags. I still observe this practice.

2. The larvae migrated to flour and rice. Putting those things in the freezer for a day or two killed the larvae.

3. Finally, I bought a couple of moth traps from Amazon. According to my order history, these are the ones I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AGWPK8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I wasn’t expecting much for them, but they worked.

Maybe one or more of these suggestions will work for you.

On the subject of dogs and Milk Bones, I am sorry for your loss.
