Indianmeal moths, also called pantry moths, lay eggs in dry foods like flour, cereal, rice, nuts and pet food. The larvae spin webbing and contaminate food. Empire Wildlife Control helps find the source and clear the infestation.

- Small moths flying in the kitchen, especially at night
- Webbing inside food packages
- Small worms (larvae) in food or on cupboard ceilings

Where Pantry Moths Come From
They usually come home in food packages from the store. Once inside, they spread to other dry foods in the same cupboard.
How We Treat It
We help find every infested product, explain the plan and price, and treat cupboards and hiding spots. Removing infested food is the most important step.
Prevention Tips
- Store dry food in sealed glass or plastic containers
- Check packages before buying and storing
- Clean cupboard shelves and corners regularly
- Don’t keep dry food for too long
Frequently Asked Questions
