I used a combination of the pantry moth traps that are sticky and have a pheromone lure, and for a while I had ALL my dry goods in plastic bags. I bought big 2 gallon zip lock bags and put cereal boxes right in there and zipped them up. Crackers, rice, beans... anything they might eat stayed in zip lock bags for a couple of months. It took a while.... but I don't have to keep stuff in bags anymore. but I keep a moth trap in the pantry just to be sure. last time I looked, all I'd caught was a spider and a packet of ketchup. ;-) Yes (knock on wood!), they were finally eradicated.

It looks like you posted this quite some time ago. Has your dilligence erradicated the moths by now? If you have any tips on how to resolve, do let me know.
