Moths in the GTA
Although there are several types of moths found across the world, only two of them cause adverse effects indoors: Indian meal moths are small in size and have a reddish-brown body coat, while Webbing Clothes moths have a gold or buff colour with reddish-gold hair near the wings and head. Both species will eat plant-based foods, but are fully capable of infesting and feeding off fresh or dirty clothing and carpet material. Advantage Pest Control can identify and exterminate moths that have infested your home or office space. We serve residential and commercial clients in Whitby, Scarborough, North York, Toronto, and surrounding areas. Contact us to book a service.
Preventing a Moth Infestation
Detecting moths is easy, with larvae openly crawling about while the adults flutter indoors. While adults do not directly interact with human belongings, the eggs and larvae they produce are dangerous as they feed on grain and fabrics. Because of this, detecting adult moths likely indicates the presence of eggs and larvae around your home.
The best way to prevent a moth infestation is to keep your surroundings clean and free of food bits and other waste. To get rid of larvae, you should steam clean your furniture. Hiring professionals like the exterminators at Advantage Pest Control can solve your moth problems and help you keep them from returning in numbers.
