How to Identify and Address Moth Infestations
Recognising a Moth Problem:
​
Detecting signs of damage to natural fabrics like wools and cottons in clothes or carpets is a clear indication of a potential moth problem. If you observe such damage, it's advisable to consider moth pest control. Another noticeable sign is the physical sightings of moths. Common clothes moths are typically 5 to 7mm in size, with a yellowish-brown color. It's important to note that the larvae, not the adults, are responsible for causing damage to natural fabrics. Pantry moths, on the other hand, target stored food products, contaminating them during feeding. Typically measuring around 10mm and featuring a darker color, pantry moths are often found in kitchen cupboards and larder storage areas.
Common Moth Varieties:
There are two prevalent moth species that commonly cause issues in homes: clothes/carpet moths and pantry or 'food' moths. Clothes/carpet moths impact natural fabrics associated with clothing and carpets, while pantry moths pose problems for stored food products. If you suspect a moth infestation, prompt action with effective pest control measures is recommended.
