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.
That last gift always feels so meager for such a friend, when they've trusted us their whole lives to help and protect them and it's the only thing left we can do.
It's still massive, and a better end than many of us can hope for.
I'll add my sympathy too: I'm so sorry to hear about Fitzgerald.
With regard to the moths: I can sympathize a bit I've had my own personal battle with drain flies the past month which are dramatically less destructive but also frustratingly difficult to deal with.
Glad you wisely took time to focus on home and rest, and I'm looking forward to new posts!
I am so so sorry Megan. Our 10-year old German Shepherd is in the same predicament. We are in the upping the meds process, and I am afraid we will have to let him go sooner than later. It is just heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry to hear this Megan. I knew of Fitzgerald's affliction and your love for him from your appearances on The Remnant. Sending you and Peter positive energy during this difficult time.

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.
Oooof, wow, that's a month.
My sympathies, I just went through the same with my best friend of 13 years. The seizures are hard to take because you feel helpless to do anything.
None of them ever live long enough. My sympathies.
Oh.

Dogs are family members.
I hope you feel better soon, Megan. Thanks for sharing what's on your mind. - Jim
