Controlling an Angoumois Grain Moth infestation is sometimes difficult, especially in open corn cribs where fumigation is near-impossible, but using Angoumois grain moth traps can be effective.

Since the adult months don't live more than a month, careful observation and timing can prevent further problems with these moths in small-scale storage facilities.
