Moths

Moths (Lepidoptera)

Moths encompass thousands of species ranging from pantry moths and clothes moths that damage stored goods and fabrics to large outdoor species that are important pollinators and food sources in the ecosystem. Pest species are attracted to light and enter homes through gaps and open windows, where some species establish damaging infestations in food storage or natural fiber textiles. Correct species identification is key, as pantry moths require sanitation and food storage solutions while clothes moths need textile-focused treatments. Professional assessment identifies the species and guides the most effective control strategy.
