Not today, for YEARS. And we fought pantry moths. Those little fuckers would be flying around, being annoying. We put out pantry moth traps. And they lay eggs in your bag of flour and pancake mix and every other damn thing in the kitchen then you get larvae in your flour. So we throw all that shit out, got better storage containers, put all of the paper bags of flour in ziplock bags. We worked our asses off trying to control the pantry moths for years. Cried about it to a few people until one day someone said, "you can't store birdseed in the house, all of it has moth eggs in it". Who knew? It was in a big storage container with a locking top, but apparently the damn larvae can get out of those.
The birds still get fed, but their seed has to live in a rat proof, rain proof, raccoon proof container outdoors. It's been a year or so and we have not seen one single pantry moth.
tl;dr - store birdseed in the house, wonder where thepanstry moths all come from
