Whether clothes moths are eating holes through your wardrobe or pantry moths are contaminating your food, our professional moth treatment eliminates both types and protects your Michigan home.
Not all moths are pests, but two types cause serious damage in Michigan homes: clothes moths and pantry moths. Both are small, inconspicuous, and do their worst damage as larvae — the adult moths you see flying around are just the tip of the iceberg.
Small, golden moths that hide in dark closets. Their larvae feed on wool, silk, fur, cashmere, and other animal-based fabrics, leaving holes in your favorite garments.
Also called Indian meal moths, these pests infest cereal, flour, rice, dried fruit, pet food, and other stored items. Larvae spin webs inside food containers.
The flying adults you see are not the ones causing damage — it's their nearly invisible larvae feeding in dark closets and food containers that destroy your belongings.
Watch for these warning signs in your Michigan home:
Small, irregular holes appearing in wool sweaters, suits, scarves, blankets, or other natural-fiber garments stored in closets.
Silky webbing or clumps inside cereal boxes, flour bags, rice containers, or pet food — a telltale sign of pantry moth larvae.
Small moths fluttering around kitchen or closet lights in the evening, especially near food storage areas or bedrooms.
Clothes moth larvae spin silk tubes or cases on fabric surfaces where they feed — look for these in dark corners of closets and on stored clothing.
Small, cream-colored worm-like larvae found in food packages, on clothing, or along closet edges and baseboards.
Fine, sand-like droppings found beneath hanging clothes, on closet shelves, or inside food containers where larvae are feeding.
Michigan's long winters mean we store heavy wool clothing, winter blankets, and seasonal gear for months in closets, attics, and basements. This creates the perfect undisturbed environment for clothes moth larvae to feed and grow. By the time you pull out your winter clothes in fall, the damage is done.
Pantry moths are equally common in Michigan homes. They often arrive inside grocery products and spread quickly through kitchens and pantries. Michigan homeowners in Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Lansing frequently deal with both types of moth problems, especially in older homes with ample storage space.

Clothes moths are small, golden moths that feed on wool, silk, and fur in dark closets. Pantry moths (Indian meal moths) are slightly larger with copper-brown wings and infest stored food like cereal, flour, and rice. Both are common in Michigan and require different treatments.
For clothes moths, look for holes in wool clothing and silky webbing in closets. For pantry moths, look for moths near kitchen lights, webbing inside food packages, and small larvae in cereal or flour. Both leave behind fine, sand-like droppings.
Michigan's long winters mean we store wool clothing and blankets for months, creating perfect conditions for clothes moths. Our sealed homes trap pantry moths inside to reproduce undetected. Humid summers further accelerate moth breeding cycles.
Cedar's effectiveness fades as the wood ages. Mothballs contain hazardous chemicals and only repel moths — they don't kill larvae already feeding on your clothing. Professional treatment is the only reliable way to eliminate an active infestation.
Pantry moths often enter your home already inside grocery products. Their tiny eggs can be present in flour, cereal, rice, and dried goods before you buy them. Once inside, adults lay eggs in other food items and the infestation spreads quickly.
Every day you wait, moth larvae are destroying your clothing and contaminating your food. Call now for fast, professional treatment.
