Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include small flying moths near pantry shelves or closets, webbing in dry food products, holes in clothing or fabric, and tiny larvae or cocoons in hidden areas. If you’re seeing any of these, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.

While moths aren't typically harmful to humans, their presence can lead to food contamination and allergic reactions. Larvae in pantry items leave behind waste and silk, which can spoil food and trigger respiratory irritation for sensitive individuals.

Pantry moths are often brought in through contaminated food packages. Clothes moths are drawn to soiled natural fabrics stored in dark, undisturbed areas. Poor storage, lack of sanitation, and infrequent cleaning make infestations more likely.

DIY methods like traps and sprays may reduce visible moths but rarely address the root of the problem: eggs and larvae hidden in hard-to-reach areas. Professional treatment ensures complete elimination and prevention.

With Jetty Termite & Pest, most moth infestations can be resolved in 1–2 visits, depending on the severity. Our technicians tailor treatment plans for fast, long-term results.

We use targeted, low-toxicity insecticides that are safe when applied professionally. Our focus is on eliminating the lifecycle—adults, eggs, and larvae—while protecting your home and family.

No. We never treat food or fabric directly. Our process involves identifying infested items, advising on proper disposal or cleaning, and treating the affected environment with precision.

If preventive steps aren’t taken, reinfestation is possible. That’s why we include sanitation recommendations and follow-up service options to ensure your home stays moth-free.

Keep dry foods sealed in airtight containers, clean pantry shelves regularly, and store natural fabrics in airtight bags or bins. Jetty also offers ongoing pest monitoring plans for long-term prevention.
