  4. Brad Smith:

    Moths that feed on grains are a very common type of insect that invades homes, the Indian Meal Moth’s favorite food is bird seed. A homeowner inadvertently brings them into their home by purchasing a bag of birdseed that is infested, and within a few weeks, a home can become infested with moth larvae and adults. To avoid an infestation, carefully check over a bird seed bag for moth larvae, adults, and webbing before buying — and then keep it stored in a tightly sealed plastic bin to avoid attracting animals.Is your city on this list of the most pest-infested ? Spills happen — but if even a little bit of the mess is left behind, the bugs simply ca n’t resist.
