Pantry Moths: The Silent Snack Invaders


Pantry moths (also called Indian meal moths) are small but mighty nuisances. They lay eggs in dry goods like flour, cereal, rice, and even pet food. Once hatched, the larvae feed and leave behind silk webs and droppings—ruining your food.

Signs of an infestation include tiny brown moths flying near your kitchen, clumpy food textures, and webbing inside packages.

To prevent them, store dry goods in airtight containers and check expiration dates regularly. If you spot an infestation, clean thoroughly and discard affected items.

Need help clearing them out completely? That’s where professional pest control comes in.
