Moths are small to medium-sized insects that can cause significant damage to stored goods, textiles, and other household items. While moths are generally recognized for their delicate, often colorful wings, pest moths are known for their destructive larvae. Common pest moths include the Indian meal moth, clothes moth, and pantry moth. These moths usually have drab or cryptic coloring that helps them blend into their environment. Adult moths often have narrow, scaly wings and are typically active at night.

Regular inspection and proper storage of food and textiles can help prevent infestations. For existing problems, professional pest control services can implement treatments such as pheromone traps, insecticides, and thorough cleaning procedures to eliminate larvae and adult moths. Properly sealing and storing items in airtight containers can also help prevent future infestations.
