They could be from your plants although they could also be pantry moths maybe?

See the picture in the link.

They don't have the brown on the wings,just a whitish color all over.But maybe I better check and see if I have a bag of flour or something in the pantry....stinkin' moths! LOL! My dogs have fun though,they chase them!

Ruh roh! Check EVERYTHING!!! Nuts, cereal, rice, croutons, flour, raisins, beans, oats, spices, etc... Good luck! I once had to get rid of every single dry food ingredient in our household. If you don't catch them fast enough in something, they'll have laid eggs in something else which just keeps the cycle going. Bug fog bombs are also good after you get rid of whatever it is they're hatching out of.

I don't have much dry stuff...some pancake mix in a jar...maybe one or two boxes of cereal and probably some flour that wouldn't fit in the canister.no rice,croutons,raisins, beans...I sound pitiful! LOL! But we don't use much dry stuff so I don't buy it.I'll check tomorrow night...I'm sitting my plants back out too. It's only in the 40's at night here so they'll be ok.

I've seen them in bird food too. Might that be a possibility?

They're not eating your wool coat or any other woolens, are they?

Hey Chibby...could they be coming from your wallet?*S*S*S*S*S*

We had those in a house we used to live in. VERY hard to get rid of...seems we had a new hatching every few months (?) even when I got rid of all the dry stuff. For us, bird seed was the culprit that started it. I think pet food can get them going, too.

I don't have any wool clothes or birdseed...oh my...it sounds like i don't have anything! LOL!
I took the one plant outside that was sitting on my endtable right under the light.Didn't see anymore moths last night.....maybe it was that plant? It is my Moses-In-the-Cradle....and it does have seed pods on it...so maybe that's it! Hope so!

Hehe Rhinda! Could be my wallet! I DO have one of those(just bought one! LOL!)

I had that problem once that started with a plain sealed bag of white rice. ugh. I tossed everything that wasn't canned and started over.

I hang a VAPONA STRIP in kitchen and never have any moths. If I don't have that strip i find the little worms that they hatch in dry food such as flour etc.

Dog Food!

We always got them from the bags of dog food as well as the bags of wild bird seed. Nasty little buggers. Takes a while to get rid of them but it can be done.

Good luck.

I keep my dog food, cat food and bird seed, all in metal cans in the garage. I've had those moths too. But not since I started using the metal cans.

Ours came in when we brought some wood in for the wood stove...having a heck of a time getting rid of them now. We also had wasps hibernate in the wood once too, now that was really bad when they woke up in the house!!

I've had little bugs fly up out of dirt before, CR. Could be from one of your plants.

We also had a moth bloom in the pantry once, a box of barley was the culprit. We get all kinds of bugs in our firewood, ants, roaches, spiders, etc. We spray inside the wood box once in a while.

If they are pantry moths, the pantry moth traps work very well with no chemicals. Check the hardware store for them if you think this could be your problem, then give them a week or two to work. You have to check through your packaged food to see what they got into; you can usually see tiny holes in the plastic and sawdust-looking stuff. Good luck!

We had small grayish moths a few years ago. They drove me crazy when I worked on my computer late at night and my monitor was the brightest light in the room. There were constantly silver streaks of moth wing dust smeared across my monitor from my stealth attacks on them.

When I got tired of cleaning my monitor every day, I called pest control. They told me there wasn't much they could do that I couldn't do myself and that the first thing to look for after ruling out pet food, pantry and houseplant sources, was straw and wicker baskets. I had a couple in my clothes closet, where incidentally I was having wool jackets and sweaters being destroyed at an alarming rate.

I removed the baskets, added moth balls and cedar ... after a while, I stopped having night time battles with bomber moths and silver streaks on my monitor. I still hesitate to buy anything in the wool family though.

By the way, my monitor was at the opposite end of the house from my bedroom closet. I think they ate and slept in my closet, but played at my monitor. Regardless, I'm so happy they are gone!

Jodi-

All rice, flour, pancake mixe, etc. goes in the freezer for a week before storing in the pantry. I also sprinkle Bay Leaves on pantry sheves- they hate it.

CR I had the moths too, get the traps at the hardware store. they are expensive - 2 for about 10 bucks but they work -they attract the female to a sticky surface and that worked for me

Only saw 2 last night,so thinking it was that plant,,,
I'm going to look for those traps though,just in case..
Thanks everyone!
