To get rid of pantry moths, in addition to making dry goods unavailable to them, put containers out that they can lay their eggs in. The life cycle is long enough that if you dispose of them in the first garbage pickup of every month, they won't have time to hatch out.
I rarely have them any more but still do this to prevent a problem. I know they get into small holes and I don't know whether they prefer that to open containers. So my "mommy moth bait" containers have lids with holes. I save stale-dated dry goods in sealed mason jars for this purpose.
