Moths Pest Control in CT

Moths Pest Control: More Than Just Fabric Pests

While often associated with eating wool clothing and fabrics, some moth species can become household pests, invading pantries, contaminating food sources, and leaving behind unsightly webs.

Common moth pests in Connecticut include Indian meal moths, Mediterranean flour moths, pantry moths, clothes moths, and casemaking moths. Most of these moths are very small, only 1/2 inch or less in size, allowing them to infest cracks, crevices, and tough-to-reach areas.

Adult moths themselves do not damage food or fabrics, but the larvae (caterpillars) certainly can. Clothing fabric pests like webbing clothes moths spin silken tubes to pupate in, while food moths like Indian meal moths contaminate dried goods like cereals, grains, nuts, and even pet food. The larvae leave behind webbing and staining as they feed.

Signs of a Moth Infestation

Seeing moths flying around inside, especially in the kitchen or pantry

Discovering webbing or cocoons in cabinets, corners, or on clothing

Finding holes or damage in wool sweaters, rugs, or other fabrics

Noticing larvae or caterpillars in dried food products
