What Are Moths?

Moths are small, flying insects closely related to butterflies. While many species are harmless, some can become serious pests in your home.

Clothes Moths

Clothes moths feed on natural fibers such as wool, silk, and cashmere, leaving holes in clothing, blankets, and other fabrics.

Pantry Moths

Pantry moths infest stored grains, cereals, nuts, and dried foods, contaminating your pantry and food supply.

Signs of Moths in Your Home

Detecting moths early is critical to preventing widespread damage. Here are some common signs of a moth infestation:

Common Symptoms of Moth Infestation:

  • Holes in Fabrics: Clothes, blankets, or other natural fiber items may have small holes, a sign of clothes moth activity.
  • Webbing in Pantry Items: Pantry moths leave silky webs in flour, grains, or other stored foods.
  • Larvae or Cocoons: Small caterpillar-like larvae or silken cocoons may be found in closets, drawers, or pantry corners.
  • Adult Moths Flying Indoors: Seeing small flying inside your home, especially near closets or food storage areas, is a key indicator of an infestation.

How Moths Spread and Infest Your Home

Moths can reproduce rapidly if left unchecked. Adult female lay eggs on food, fabrics, or other suitable surfaces. These eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on natural fibers or stored food, growing into adults within weeks.

Moths can also be introduced into your home via secondhand clothing, packaged foods, or infested storage items, making it essential to combine prevention with professional treatment.

Life Cycle:

Understanding the moth life cycle is key to controlling infestations:

  • Eggs: Female moths lay eggs on clothing, fabrics, or food sources.
  • Larvae: Eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on fibers or pantry items.
  • Pupae: Larvae spin cocoons and enter the pupal stage.
  • Adults: Adult moths emerge to reproduce, continuing the cycle.

How to Get Rid of Moths

Eliminating moths requires a targeted approach that addresses both adults and larvae. Canadian Pest Solutions’ licensed exterminators provide treatment programs designed for safe, effective moth control.

Treat Your Home:

  • Apply Treatment: Licensed exterminators apply treatment to affected areas, including closets, drawers, and pantry corners, using green and safe pesticides.

  • Vacuuming and Cleaning: Thorough cleaning of fabrics, shelves, and storage areas removes eggs and larvae, enhancing the effectiveness of treatments.

  • Sealing and Storage: Clothes and pantry items are stored in airtight containers to prevent re-infestation.

Prevention Measures:

  • Regular Inspections: Licensed exterminators recommend routine inspections of closets, storage areas, and pantry items to catch moths early.

Great experience. Loved that the bait isn't easily visible or accessible since we've got little kids and definitely don't want that being something they get into. Had a two-week follow up where the bait was checked and looks like the mouse problem is gone.
