Common Moth Problems in Colorado Springs

Not all moths are the same, and identifying the type of moth in your home is the first step toward effective control. In the Colorado Springs area, homeowners typically encounter a few common culprits, each with its unique habits and the kind of trouble it can cause inside.

  • Clothes Moths: These small, typically beige or tan moths are notorious for causing damage. Their larvae feed on natural fibers, leaving behind holes in wool sweaters, silk garments, carpets, and upholstered furniture. You will often find them in dark, undisturbed areas like closets or attics.
  • Pantry Moths (Indian Meal Moths): Finding tiny caterpillars or webbing in your flour, cereal, pasta, or pet food is a sure sign of pantry moths. The adult moths lay eggs in stored food products, leading to contamination that requires you to throw out affected items.
  • Miller Moths: Famous for their annual migration through our region, these larger, grayish-brown moths don't damage property but are a significant nuisance. They are attracted to light and can enter homes in large numbers through tiny cracks, ending up in lamps, cupboards, and virtually everywhere else.

While a few miller moths might be manageable, an infestation of clothes or pantry moths can cause costly damage and waste. A professional can accurately identify the pest and apply the correct treatment to eliminate the infestation at its source, protecting your belongings.

Our Moth Control and Prevention Process

At High Country Pest Control, our goal is to provide a comprehensive moth control solution that not only eliminates the current infestation but also helps prevent future problems. Our process is designed to be thorough, safe, and personalized to your specific needs, delivering the quality service we are known for.

  • Detailed Home Inspection: Our service begins with a thorough inspection. We will identify the type of moth, locate breeding grounds and larval activity in your closets, pantry, or other areas, and find potential entry points.
  • Targeted and Safe Treatment: We use EPA-registered products and targeted treatments that are safe for use inside your home. Whether treating a pantry or a closet, we take special care to protect your family, pets, and belongings.
  • Source Elimination: Simply killing adult moths is not enough. Our technicians focus on eliminating the infestation at its source—the eggs and larvae—to break the life cycle and ensure the problem does not return.
  • Preventative Recommendations: After treatment, we provide you with expert advice on how to prevent future moth issues, such as proper food and clothing storage techniques and sealing common entry points around your home.

With our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you can be confident that your moth problem will be handled with excellence. We are committed to restoring comfort and peace of mind to your home through our proven, customer-focused pest control methods.

How Can I Prevent Moths in My Home?

Moth prevention begins with proper storage practices. Utilize airtight containers for food and ensure clothes, especially natural fibers, are clean before storage. Regular cleaning and vacuuming can help remove eggs and larvae, minimizing infestation risks.
