Natural Moths Control
Clothes moths and pantry moths infest homes across NY, PA & NJ, damaging fabrics and contaminating stored food.
About Moths
Clothes moths (webbing and casemaking species) feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, and fur, while pantry moths (Indian meal moth and related species) infest grains, cereals, and dried goods. Both types reproduce quickly in undisturbed areas. Integrated pest management combines pheromone monitoring, sanitation, physical removal, and targeted low-toxicity treatments to resolve infestations with minimal environmental impact.
