: : I understand that the first step is to clean out the closet, but I have done this many times and eventually they just keep coming back. Is there a natural alternative to pesticides to keep them away. I thought I heard a few years ago that chili powder would work? Has anyone else heard this?

: I have heard that bay leaf helps get rid of not only flour bugs but also grain moths. I had grain moths and after cleaning out my closet thoroughly, and I mean throwing everything out and washing the closet out with a clorox solution, I never had another problem again! Good luck.
