How Do You Get Rid of Moths in Your Home?
By the time you notice moths in your home, an infestation has usually already started. Moths fall into two main categories: food-eating moths and fabric-eating moths. Food moths, such as the destructive Indian Meal Moth, often infest pantries and kitchen cabinets, targeting grains, cereals, flour, pasta, and pet food. A single female can lay up to 300 eggs, leading to rapid growth of larvae that blend in with stored food. Storing items in airtight containers is one of the best preventative measures, but once an infestation begins, professional treatment is the fastest and most reliable solution.
Fabric-eating moths, including Webbing Moths and Casemaking Moths, prefer closets and storage areas. Though small and rarely seen, their damage becomes obvious when holes appear in clothing, upholstery, or stored fabrics. Because moths are discreet and reproduce quickly, their presence can go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred. A pest control specialist can identify the type of moth, eliminate the infestation, and provide recommendations to protect your home from future issues.

Tell Me About Moth Behavior
What Should You Know About Moth Behavior?
Moths are discreet pests that thrive in dark, undisturbed areas where food or fabric is readily available. Pantry moths, like the Indian Meal Moth, lay hundreds of eggs directly in stored grains, cereals, and pet food, allowing larvae to feed unnoticed until the infestation is advanced. Fabric moths, such as the Webbing Moth and Casemaking Moth, prefer closets, attics, and storage spaces, where they feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton. Because moths are small and their larvae often blend in with their food or fabric, infestations often go undetected until damage becomes obvious—making early detection and professional treatment essential.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Moths Control FAQs
Moths are drawn to food sources like grains, flour, cereal, and pet food, as well as natural fabrics such as wool, silk, and cotton. Dark, undisturbed storage areas provide the ideal environment for them to thrive.
No. Moths do not bite or sting. The damage comes from their larvae, which feed on stored food or natural fibers in clothing, carpets, and upholstery.
Signs include small holes in clothing or fabrics, webbing in food packages, and spotting adult moths near pantries or closets. Pantry moth larvae often resemble tiny worms in dried foods.
While moths themselves aren’t harmful, pantry moths can contaminate food with eggs and larvae, making it unsafe to eat. Fabric moths damage valuable items, causing costly replacements.
The most effective method is professional moth control, which includes identifying the type of moth, treating infested areas, and providing prevention strategies such as airtight storage and routine inspections.
