Pantry moths and clothes moths both turn up in Karalee homes, but they cause different problems and need different treatment. Pantry moths breed in flour, rice, cereal and pet food left in cupboards, while clothes moths favour wool, natural fibres and stored fabric in wardrobes and linen cupboards, often going unnoticed until a jumper is pulled out at the start of winter with small holes in it.
When you call, we ask which rooms you have seen moths or larvae in, and roughly what has been affected, since that changes whether the visit focuses on the pantry, the wardrobe or both. The crew we book checks cupboards, pantry shelving and stored fabric, treats affected areas and points out food or clothing in your Karalee home that is better thrown out rather than kept, along with any webbing found in corners.
Clearing out old flour, rice and pet food from pantry shelves before the visit helps the crew find where the problem started and treat it properly, and it is worth doing the same with old wardrobe boxes, spare blankets and out-of-season clothing that has been packed away for a while.
