Indian Meal Moth Corn Bin Problem in Iowa
Iowa State extension entomologist Dr. Harold Gunderson reports Indian meal moth larvae infest stored corn in Ames. The full grown larvae reach about three quarters of an inch and feed on surface grain, forming silk webs that crust the surface and reduce air movement. A 2 percent malathion spray at one gallon per thousand square feet can control caterpillars, with surface agitation after application to improve aeration.
