Mealworm substrate alternatives?

I've pretty well always bred my own worms, as I find it cost virtually nothing, is hassle free, and gives me complete quality control. Well... long story made short... my house has been overtaken by moths, no thanks to a batch of grains we got from the Bulk Barn. Nonetheless, they absolutely thrive with grains, and I just cannot keep any grains in an open environement anymore (they even find their way in to certain kinds of jars and stuff ). Has anyone ever tried breeding mealworms on any other types of substrates? Beta Chip? Peat moss? Carefresh? I don't know if the mealworms would ingest this type of substrate, or be happy enough with fruits and veggies provided? Would they breed in this sort of environment? I'm really hoping I don't have to discontinue breeding them
