Pyralis farinalis In my home - Help! moths

Hi all!

I apologize if this has been asked but I am looking for help everywhere.

I live in Cambridge, MA, USA. Starting about a month ago I started seeing 1 or 2 of the pictured moths around my apartment. Slowly the numbers have increased so that every time I get home from work or wake up there will now be 10-15 on the walls.

I consulted a pest control expert and they told me these were clothes moths and placed traps. The traps failed to work and I took research into my own hands and found that these were actually meal moths found at the following link http://ift.tt/2u0eG9G

No meal moth traps are working either, as I believe these are only for Indian Meal Moths.

I frequently travel for work, so I do not keep grain or any food outside of my refrigerator - so I'm not sure where they are getting food!

Any tips on how I can control these moths would be greatly appreciated!
