Tiny moths in my house #890777

Asked December 13, 2024, 2:14 PM EST

I found this tiny moth flying around in my kitchen and then saw more of them and have killed 3 to 6 per day almost since the beginning of December. I killed two last night and haven’t seen anymore today, but that has happened in the past. Can you identify this for me and what I can do to get rid of them? I would say size is less than the diameter of a dime or about that size.

It is a bit hard to identify from the photo but I believe it could be webbing clothes moths.  https://ask2.extension.org/scp/tickets.php?id=890777  If that does not match what you are seeing, go to the main page and try tabbing through others.  https://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/insect/indoor/
