Moth Control in Kansas City
Two very different moths cause trouble indoors. Indian meal moths — two-tone, copper-tipped wings — breed in stored food. Webbing clothes moths — small, golden, and shy of light — feed on wool and other natural fibers.
Pantry moths
Indian meal moth eggs arrive in food from the store — birdseed, pet food, grains, nuts and dried fruit are common carriers. Larvae leave silk webbing that clumps food together, and adults flutter out when you open the cabinet.
The fix is a pantry cleanout: find and discard every infested package, vacuum shelves and corners, and store dry goods in sealed hard containers. We inspect with you and treat cracks and shelf edges where larvae have wandered to pupate.
Clothes moths
Clothes moth larvae feed on wool, silk, fur and feathers, especially items stored dirty or left undisturbed in closets, under beds and in storage bins. Look for irregular holes and webbing tubes on the fabric.
We find the infested items and harborage, give you a cleaning plan (laundering, dry-cleaning or freezing), and treat closet edges and baseboards where larvae hide.
Moth Control in Kansas City — Common Questions
Which moth do I have?+
Moths flying around the kitchen are almost always pantry moths. Small moths in closets that avoid light are clothes moths. A photo tells us for sure.
Do moth traps solve the problem?+
Traps catch some adult males and help show where activity is, but they don't remove the larvae in the food or fabric.
Why do they keep coming back?+
One missed package or one stored sweater is enough. The cleanout has to be thorough.
