Two kinds of moths cause most of the calls we get from Mitchelton. Pantry moths are small, grey-brown moths that flutter out of the cupboard, with larvae and fine webbing in flour, rice, cereal, nuts and pet food. Clothes moths are smaller and rarely seen flying, but their larvae leave holes in wool, silk and other natural fibres stored in wardrobes, drawers and chests. Both can spread through a home before anyone notices.
The crew we book finds where the moths are breeding and treats those areas. For pantry moths, that means the pantry shelves, cupboard corners, hinges and gaps where larvae hide to pupate. For clothes moths, it means wardrobes, drawers, rug edges and the backs of cupboards. Many crews also use pheromone traps to show whether moths are still around after the treatment. They explain what to throw out and what can be kept.

Before the visit, empty the pantry and throw away any open or infested packets. Wipe the shelves and vacuum the corners and hinges. For clothes moths, wash or dry clean affected items and vacuum inside wardrobes and drawers. Store dry food in sealed jars and woollens in sealed bags to make it harder for moths to return.
