I have to say that none of these moths looks like *Tinea pellionella* or *Phereoeca uterella. *My guess is that they are all accidentals from outside. I'm happy to have a look at some specimens, and will be able to say if they are one of the pest species, but my familiarity with the North American "wild" microlepidoptera borders on the non-existent, so approaching a local lepidopterist might be your best bet for a definitive answer.
