Moths in a Whittlesea pantry usually mean stored grains, cereals or pet food have become a food source, while moths in a wardrobe point to natural fibres like wool being fed on by larvae rather than the moths you see flying around. The crew we book will ask where you have noticed activity, since pantry and clothes moths are treated differently and need different areas checked.
For pantry activity, the visit covers cupboards, shelving and stored food containers, checking for the source package and any webbing or small larvae in corners and seams of the shelving. For clothes moths, wardrobes, drawers and stored linen are checked, along with quiet, undisturbed corners where larvae can sit for months without being noticed.
- Pantry shelving and stored food checked for the source of activity
- Wardrobes and stored linen checked for clothes moth larvae
- Advice on storage containers and cleaning to stop activity returning
- A price given before the crew starts at your Whittlesea address
- Notes on which packets or garments were the likely source of the activity
Township homes around Whittlesea with sealed pantry cupboards can still bring moths in through a single infested packet from the shops, so a recently noticed problem does not always mean anything about the age or condition of the house. Older wardrobes with wool carpet offcuts or stored blankets, common in properties with a spare room used for storage, tend to be where clothes moth activity settles in for longer if it goes unnoticed. Small webbing near seams or a scattering of fine grains in flour and rice containers are usually the first signs worth calling about.
