Are you suffering from moth infestations? Do pantry moths plague your home’s closets? Are clothes moths eating their way through all of your carefully stored clothing? A moth problem is no laughing matter. Fortunately, there are a few moth control steps that you can take to remove the unwanted pests from your home.

How Did Moths Get in Your House?

There are three common signs that your home is suffering from moth infestations.

1. Damaged Clothing

Most often you will see moth damage on wool, alpaca, silk, leather, cashmere, and angora. The type of damage will depend on how long the moths have been munching away.

2. Damaged Carpets

As their name suggests, carpet moths are notorious for eating carpets and rugs. Threadbare patches and holes, especially on wool or silk carpets, are telltale signs that you have a moth problem.

3. Moth Larvae in Food and Adult Moths in Your Kitchen

Pantry moths are hard to spot during the egg stage. However, the larvae stage is easier to see, especially when they are busy moving about and eating your food. Adult moths flying around your kitchen are a clear sign that you need to implement a few key moth prevention tactics.

If you are having trouble identifying the source of your moths, then you will want to call a moth control and prevention specialist, who will evaluate your home to successfully identify the type and source of your moth infestation.
