Frequently Asked Moth Questions
Moths can enter your house through open windows, doors, or small cracks in walls and foundations. Pantry pests, like Indian meal moths, commonly come into a home via infested grain, bird seed, or pet food. They are attracted to sources of light and warmth, which is why you might find them around lamps, televisions, or other electronic devices. Additionally, moths are attracted to food sources, such as grains, cereals, and pet food.
At Aimix, moth control is included in our general pest control plans. We also treat other common pests, such as mice, rats, roaches, spiders, and ants. Our pest control service includes a comprehensive interior and exterior inspection and treatment. All moth pest control plans are protected with the Nix guarantee – if pests come back between treatments, so will we.
The lifecycle of a moth consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. After mating, female moths will lay their eggs in a safe place. The moth then hatches into a larva, also known as a caterpillar. As the larva continues to develop, it will molt its skin several times as it grows. Once mature, the moth will create a cocoon to pupate in as it morphs into an adult moth, which then emerges from the cocoon and begins the new lifecycle by laying eggs.
To kill moths, one option is to use pheromone moth traps, which attract and kill moths with a sticky substance they cannot escape from. Washing any infested clothes or linens and drying them on high heat will kill moth eggs. In addition, vacuums and fly swatters can kill moths. However, if you are dealing with a serious moth infestation, it's best to seek professional help from Aimix.
