Clothes Moths and other Types of Moths
Knowing which species you are dealing with is crucial to effective moth pest control. Look for signs like webbing, moth larvae, and holes in fabrics to see if you have an infestation. Early detection makes it easier to control and eliminate the infestation before it spreads.
Indianmeal Moth (Plodia interpunctella)
Most common pantry moth. Small (1/2 inch wingspan), with distinctive two-tone wings — inner half tan, outer half bronze/coppery. Larvae infest flour, cereal, dried fruit, nuts, pet food, birdseed, dried pasta, chocolate. The webbing and cocoons in pantry corners are the larval stage. Treatment: remove and discard ALL infested products (often more than customer initially thinks), thoroughly clean shelves, treat any remaining harborage.
Webbing Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella)
Small (1/2 inch wingspan), uniform pale yellow-tan color, weak flier that avoids light. Larvae feed on wool, silk, fur, feathers, and other animal-based fibers. Damage appears as irregular holes in stored sweaters, suits, blankets. Treatment: removal/cleaning of infested items, professional cleaning of all wool/silk in the area, residual treatment of closets and storage areas.
Casemaking Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella)
Similar to webbing clothes moth but larvae construct portable cases from fabric fibers, which they drag around. Same damage pattern, same treatment approach.
Mediterranean Flour Moth (Ephestia kuehniella)
Less common pantry moth. Larger than Indianmeal moth, gray-mottled wings. Same treatment approach as Indianmeal moth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moth Extermination and Moth Treatment
What is the difference between pantry moths and clothes moths?
Pantry moths infest stored food like flour, cereal, dried fruit, nuts, pet food, birdseed, pasta, and chocolate. Clothes moths damage natural fabrics like wool, silk, fur, feathers, sweaters, suits, and blankets. Correct identification matters because pantry moths and clothes moths need different treatment methods.
Why do I have moths in my home?
Moths usually enter homes through infested food products, stored fabrics, boxes, or items brought in from another storage area. Pantry moths often start in dry food storage, while clothes moths are usually found in closets, drawers, or storage bins with animal-based fabrics.
Are moth treatments safe for kids and pets?
Titan Pest Pro uses targeted applications with EPA-registered products. Your technician will explain where treatment is needed and any safety steps to follow before or after service. The treatment plan depends on whether the problem is in the pantry, closet, or another storage area.
How long does moth treatment take?
Most moth treatments take about 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the infestation level. Pantry moth service may also require removing and discarding infested food, while clothes moth service may involve cleaning or removing affected fabrics.
How can I prevent moths from coming back?
Store dry food in sealed containers, check pantry items before storing them, clean pantry shelves regularly, and discard expired or infested products. For clothes moths, clean wool, silk, fur, feathers, and other natural fabrics before storage, use sealed containers, and inspect closets or storage areas often.
How much does moth extermination cost?
Moth treatment pricing depends on the type of moth, the size of the infestation, and whether the issue is in food storage, closets, or multiple areas of the home. Titan Pest Pro provides a free inspect.
