How Do You Know It Is a Moth (Identification)
Colour
Clothes moths are plain golden-tan. Pantry moths have grey wings with coppery tips.
Size
Clothes moths are about 6-8 mm long. Pantry moths are slightly larger, with a 16-20 mm wingspan.
Description
Small, delicate moths. Clothes moths avoid light and run for cover. Pantry moths fly in zigzags near food.
Notes
The larvae (small cream caterpillars) cause the damage, not the adult moths. Send us a photo if you're unsure.

Clothes Moths or Pantry Moths?
They look similar at a glance, but they live in different places, eat different things and need different fixes. Knowing which one you have is the first step.
Clothes Moths | Pantry Moths | |
Found in | Closets, bedrooms, carpets, storage | Kitchen, pantry, cupboards |
They eat | Wool, silk, fur, feathers, pet hair, soiled fabric | Flour, cereal, grains, nuts, dried fruit, pet food, birdseed |
You’ll see | Small tan moths, holes in fabric, silky webbing | Zigzagging moths, webbing and clumps in food |
Fix starts with | Finding and cleaning infested items | Throwing out infested food |
Signs You Have Moths
Adult moths are only part of the picture. The larvae do the damage and stay hidden, so the clues they leave behind often show up first.
- Small tan moths in closets, or zigzagging grey and copper moths in the kitchen.
- Holes or bare patches in wool, cashmere, silk or fur.
- Fine silk webbing, tubes or tiny cases on fabric, carpet edges or in food.
- Clumps of food stuck together with webbing.
- Cream-coloured caterpillars with brown heads in food or on fabric.
- Larvae crawling up walls or across ceilings, looking for a place to pupate.
Where Do Moths Hide?
Moths lay eggs in dark, undisturbed spots close to something the larvae can eat. These are the places we check first.
- Closets, dressers and drawers with wool, silk or fur
- Under beds, sofas and other furniture, where pet hair collects
- Carpet edges, baseboards and under rugs
- Storage boxes and bags with clothes kept for a long time
- Pantry shelf corners, cupboard hinges and shelf edges
- Opened bags of flour, cereal, pet food and birdseed
- Attics and wall voids with old nests or dead insects
Why Do I Have Moths?
A clean home can still get moths. They usually arrive from outside or hitch a ride on something you bring in.
- Moths arrive on second-hand clothing, furniture, rugs and boxes.
- Adult clothes moths fly in through windows and doors, and lay eggs on soiled or stored fabric.
- Pantry moth eggs often come in with groceries, so even new bags of flour, cereal, nuts or pet food can already be infested.
- Larvae can chew through thin plastic and cardboard, so a clean pantry isn’t always safe.
- Pet hair, lint and dust give clothes moth larvae a steady supply of food.
- Clothes stored dirty, or not touched for months, make easy targets.
How We Get Rid of Moths
Our treatment goes after the larvae and eggs where they hide, not just the moths flying around. Here’s what a visit looks like.
- Identify. We confirm whether it’s clothes moths, pantry moths or both.
- Find the source. We check closets, furniture, carpet edges, cupboards, and any stored items to find where the larvae live.
- Treat the hiding spots. We apply a professional product to baseboards, carpet edges, closets, voids and cracks. We never apply it on food or in food-contact areas.
- Tell you what to clean or toss. You’ll get a clear list of items to wash, dry-clean or discard.
- Report and guarantee. You’ll know what we found and treated. If moths keep showing up during your warranty period, we return and re-treat at no extra cost.

What You Can Do Yourself
Treatment works best when you deal with the source items at the same time. Steps vary depending on the type of moth.
For clothes moths
- Wash or dry-clean affected items, then dry on high heat
- Freeze items that can’t be washed in sealed bags for at least a week
- Vacuum closets, baseboards and under furniture, then empty the vacuum outside
- Store clean wool and silk in sealed containers
- Clean up pet hair and lint
For pantry moths
- Check every opened package of flour, cereal, nuts, dried fruit, pet food and birdseed
- Throw out anything with webbing, clumps or larvae
- Vacuum shelves, corners and cupboard edges
- Store dry food in glass or metal containers with tight lids
Pheromone traps only catch male moths. They show how bad it is, but they won’t solve the problem on their own.
How Much Does Moth Control Cost?
The price depends on the moth type, your home’s size, how many rooms and closets are affected, and how long it’s been going on. A photo helps us give you a quick answer.
