Crushed peanuts. Pantry moths love them. Runner up would be a muesli mix (especially if it contains nuts). If you can hide it down the back of the cupboard a moth infestation can develop quietly, unnoticed until the larvae head out to find new food sources and you you get traumatised staff horrified by the "maggots" crawling through all the food.

I'll have a packet of peanuts ready to turn into a moth bomb if I ever think the day is coming. Thank you

Bad reading: panty moths. Do not want.

Just keep peanuts and muesli out of your panties and you should be fine.
