Pantry moths are small brown moths that flutter around kitchens in Coorparoo, usually at dusk. The real trouble is their larvae, which live in flour, rice, cereal, pet food, nuts and dried fruit, spinning fine webbing inside packets and along shelf edges. Many infestations start with a single packet brought home from the shop, then spread to every open container nearby.
The crew we book works with you to clear out the source, then treats the pantry and the areas around it so the life cycle breaks. Sprays on their own do not solve pantry moths without a clean-out, so the job is part housework and part treatment, and both halves matter.

Before the visit, take everything out of the pantry and throw away any packet with webbing, clumps or larvae. Vacuum the shelves, corners and door hinges, then wipe them with warm soapy water and let them dry. Keep the remaining food in sealed containers away from the pantry until the crew is done and the shelves are dry again.
Moths may still show up for a short time as the last larvae develop, so leave the traps in place for a few weeks. Pantry moths are common in older Coorparoo kitchens with lots of shelf joints and gaps. Call 07 3543 7767 to book pantry moth control and we will give you upfront pricing.
