WHAT ATTRACTS
What Attracts Moths
Moths are drawn to stored natural fabrics, dark storage areas, moisture, and easy indoor hiding spots.
Natural Fabrics
Wool, silk, cashmere, and upholstered fabric attract clothes moth larvae, which feed on fibres rather than the finished garment as a whole.
Stored Dry Foods
Flour, cereal, grains, pet food, and spices can attract pantry moths, often traced back to a single contaminated package on the shelf.
Dark Storage Areas
Closets, basements, and undisturbed storage bins give moth larvae time to establish without being noticed.
Food Spills
Crumbs, loose grains, and pet packaging residue can sustain pantry moth activity even after the original source is cleaned up.
Outdoor Lighting
Porch lights, garden lights, and window lighting can attract adult moths outdoors, which then find their way inside through small gaps.
SPECIES LIBRARY
Common Moth Species
Moth species damage different areas. Some target fabric, some pantry goods, and others just outdoor lighting.
Webbing Clothes Moth
Webbing clothes moths damage wool, fur, and other natural fabrics. Larvae spin silk webbing over the fabric as they feed, which is often the first visible sign.
Mediterranean Flour Moth
Mediterranean flour moths infest flour, grains, and baking supplies. Webbing, clumps, or fine silk strands over stored grain are a common giveaway.
LDD (Gypsy) Moth
LDD moth caterpillars mainly damage trees and shrubs outdoors. During outbreaks, they can defoliate plants and create nuisance activity around homes.
Indianmeal Moth (Pantry Moth)
Larvae contaminate flour, cereal, nuts, and pet food. Adults are small and bronze-and-tan colored, often seen flying near kitchen cabinets.
Case-Bearing Clothes Moth
Larvae build a small, portable silk case they carry with them while feeding on wool, carpet, and stored fabric, making them easy to overlook.
Brown House Moth
A generalist species that can damage both stored fabric and pantry goods, and is often found in cluttered storage areas with mixed materials.
WARNING SIGNS
Signs You Have a Moth Problem
One moth near a window doesn’t mean much on its own. These signs point to an active infestation.
Irregular Holes in Fabric
Holes in wool sweaters, carpet, or upholstery, especially in items rarely worn or moved, point to clothes moth larvae feeding on natural fibres.
Silk Webbing on Fabric or Grain
Fine silk strands over stored clothing or inside a flour or grain container are a clear sign of larval activity, whether it's a clothes moth or a pantry moth.
Small Moths Near Kitchen Cabinets
Adult moths flying near pantry shelves, rather than just windows, usually means a breeding source somewhere in the stored food.
Clumped or Webbed Food
Grains, flour, or cereal that appear clumped together or lined with fine webbing has likely been contaminated by pantry moth larvae.
Larvae or Cocoons in Storage Areas
Small larvae or silk cocoons in closet corners, drawer seams, or carpet edges confirm an active population rather than a stray adult moth.
Our Process
Our Pest Control Process
our process
Our Moth Control Process
Inspection
We inspect pantries, closets, and stored fabric to locate moth activity, distinguishing between pantry moths feeding on dry goods and clothes moths feeding on natural fibres.
Identification
We identify the species and life stage present, since moth larvae, not adult moths, cause the actual damage to fabric, carpet, and stored food.
Treatment
We treat the affected pantry items or fabric storage areas directly, removing larvae and eggs at the source rather than only addressing adult moths you notice flying around.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Our Moth Control Service
We identify the moth species, treat pantry or fabric sources directly, and help prevent repeat activity in stored goods and closets.
Expert Technicians
Our technicians are trained to tell pantry moths apart from clothes moths, since each targets different materials and needs a different inspection and treatment approach.
Safe Targeted Solutions
We apply targeted treatment to pantry shelving, closets, and fabric storage areas, protecting your family and pets while removing moth larvae and eggs at the source.
Effective Treatments
Using Ministry of Environment registered products, we treat the breeding source directly so moth larvae don't continue damaging fabric or contaminating stored food after the visit.
Satisfaction Guarantee
If moth activity returns to a treated area, we come back at no extra cost as part of our satisfaction guarantee.
Preventive Strategies
We provide guidance on sealed food storage and proper fabric care, since a single contaminated package or unwashed wool item is often enough to restart an infestation.
Comprehensive Approach
From inspection through species identification, targeted treatment, and prevention guidance, our moth control process addresses both pantry and fabric moth problems as a complete solution.

FAQs
Pest Control FAQs
What causes moths inside a home?
Stored natural fabric like wool and fur, or unsealed dry pantry goods, are the two main causes. Dark, undisturbed storage areas give larvae time to establish before anyone notices.
Are moths harmful indoors?
They're not a health risk, but clothes moth larvae damage fabric and carpet, and pantry moth larvae contaminate stored food, which usually means discarding affected items.
Where do clothes moths hide?
Closets, drawers, and storage bins with wool, fur, or other natural fibres are the most common spots, especially items that go undisturbed for long stretches.
How do pantry moths spread?
Larvae can chew through cardboard and thin plastic packaging, so an infestation from one opened item can spread to nearby sealed boxes on the same shelf.
Can cleaning remove moths?
Often, yes. Many items can be laundered on high heat or professionally treated rather than discarded, depending on the extent of the damage.
When should I call professionals?
If you're seeing holes in stored fabric, webbing in pantry goods, or repeated moth sightings near cabinets, it's worth confirming the source and treating it before it spreads further.
