Moth Control Services
Gutter installers found a hornet nest in my home and couldn’t finish the installation. I called a number of large chain pest control companies but Ben explained his process over in detail that I could understand. He and his assistant came that same day. They were thorough and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Stewart Pest Solutions.
Moths may not seem like a major threat, but they can quickly become a frustrating and costly problem inside homes and businesses. Certain species target pantry items, while others damage clothing, furniture, and stored fabrics. Because they often go unnoticed at first, infestations can grow before the damage becomes visible.
In Michigan, two of the most common types are pantry moths and clothes moths. Each brings different risks and requires a targeted approach to eliminate them effectively.
Common Types of Moths in Michigan
Indian Meal Moths
Often called pantry moths, these insects are commonly found in kitchens and food storage areas. Their larvae feed on grains, flour, cereals, nuts, and pet food. You may notice webbing inside food packaging or larvae crawling along ceilings as they search for a place to pupate. Once established, they can contaminate large amounts of stored food.
Clothes Moths
Clothes moths are drawn to natural fibers such as wool, silk, fur, and leather. Unlike many other moths, they avoid light and tend to stay hidden in closets, storage bins, and undisturbed areas. The larvae, not the adults, are responsible for damage, feeding on fabrics and leaving behind holes, patches, and debris.
Webbing Clothes Moths
A common variation of clothes moth, webbing clothes moths create silken patches or tubes as they feed. These larvae can remain hidden for long periods, slowly damaging carpets, clothing, and upholstery. Because they develop over time in dark spaces, infestations may go unnoticed until damage is already done.
Why Moths Are a Concern
Moths do not bite or spread disease, but they can still cause serious issues inside your property.
- Pantry moths contaminate food and stored goods
- Fabric moths damage clothing, furniture, and household materials
- Infestations can spread quickly if not addressed early
- Larvae are often hidden, allowing damage to continue unnoticed
Early identification and treatment are key to preventing widespread damage.
