I have found that the only way to get rid of them is to get rid of your current colony and start over with new worms, bedding, and clean caging. The moths lay eggs in the bedding and that species is the kind that will infest your pantry. They will eat right through plastic bags and breed in your cereal and pasta. Freakin nastey, I hate them. You can hang sticky tape in that room and keep the door shut.
