Clothes moths destroy natural-fibre garments and textiles, while pantry moths contaminate stored food. XtermaPro eliminates moth infestations and prevents costly damage.
Ontario homeowners encounter two main pest moth species. The clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) is a small, buff-coloured moth that damages wool, silk, cashmere, fur, and feathers it's the larvae, not the adult, that causes the destruction. The Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella) is larger, with a distinctive bicoloured wing, and infests dry pantry goods flour, cereals, dried fruit, and pet food.
Signs of a moth infestation:
Clothes moths can destroy expensive garments, antique textiles, and irreplaceable natural-fibre items. Pantry moths contaminate significant quantities of stored food before they're noticed. The real risk is discovering the damage months after the infestation began by which point losses can be substantial.
Clothes moth treatment involves thorough inspection of wardrobes, storage, and carpets, followed by targeted treatment of affected areas. Pantry moth treatment requires removal of all infested food items, thorough inspection of pantry spaces, and treatment of cracks, crevices, and storage areas. Pheromone traps are used to monitor and confirm elimination.
