Moth Control
Moth Exterminator in Colorado Springs
Pantry products, fabrics, closets, stored goods, larvae, webbing, cases, and adult moth locations help distinguish the source and correct scope.
Show the adult or larva if safely possible, plus the exact product, fabric, closet, cabinet, or storage area where evidence appears.
Moth recommendations are based on likely species, source material, rooms, storage conditions, preparation, access, address, and approved scope.
- Food product, cabinet, closet, fabric, or storage
- Larvae, webbing, cases, holes, or shed material
- Rooms affected and recent item movement

How to Tell Which Moths You Have
Most indoor moth problems come from two groups: pantry moths that feed on stored food and clothes moths that feed on wool and other animal fibers. Each needs a different plan.
Indian meal moths have two toned wings, pale near the body and copper toward the tips. Clothes moths are small, plain and golden tan.
Webbing in flour, cereal or birdseed, small larvae on cupboard ceilings, holes in wool clothing, or moths that avoid light in closets.
Moths can appear year round indoors. Pantry moths often arrive in a bag of grain, nuts, pet food or birdseed.
Pantry shelves, pet food bins, birdseed, closets, stored wool, rugs, and the edges of carpets under furniture.

Moths in Colorado Springs
Pantry Moths, Clothes Moths and Spring Millers
Indian meal moths are the most common indoor moth. They come in with flour, cereal, rice, nuts, bird seed and pet food, and their larvae leave webbing inside packages and along shelves.
Clothes moths are less common but more damaging. Their larvae feed on wool, fur, felt and other animal fibers, usually in closets, under furniture and in stored clothing that is not moved often.
In late spring, Colorado Springs also sees millers, the moths that fly through the Front Range on their way to the mountains. They gather around lights and slip into homes through gaps. They do not breed indoors and usually leave within a few weeks.
Answers Before Service
Moth Control Questions
Review the common questions below, then call if your property or activity requires a different scope.
Why does the moth type matter?
Pantry moths and fabric moths develop in different materials. The source product, larva, webbing, cases, and damage help distinguish the right path.
Should I throw everything away before calling?
Avoid broad disposal or moving suspect items until the affected material and scope are reviewed. Note labels, evidence, and storage first.
What should I send?
Can the work be quoted by phone?
A phone quote may be possible when identification and scope are clear. Quotes are free by phone or text.
Are the moths in my pantry the same as clothes moths?
No. Pantry moths feed on stored food and clothes moths feed on animal fibers. Knowing which one you have decides where to look.
Do moth traps get rid of the infestation?
Pheromone traps help confirm and monitor activity by catching adult males, but they do not remove the larvae or the food source.
Can I keep food that has webbing in it?
Infested food should be thrown away in an outside trash can. Nearby sealed packages can be checked before you keep them.
Do clothes moths eat cotton or synthetic fabric?
They prefer wool, silk, fur and feathers. Blended fabric with food or sweat stains can also be damaged.
How much does moth treatment cost?
Price depends on the type of moth and how widespread the activity is. Many quotes can be given by phone for free. Quotes are free by phone or text.
Can you come out the same day for moths?
When the schedule allows, yes. Pantry moths are rarely urgent, so many customers pick a time that fits their week.
Why are there so many moths in my house in spring?
In late spring, millers fly through Colorado Springs toward the mountains. They are drawn to lights and get in through gaps. They do not feed or breed indoors.
How do I keep pantry moths from coming back?
Throw out infested food, vacuum shelves and cracks, then store dry goods, bird seed and pet food in sealed containers.
