Pantry Moth Control in Vancouver
Pantry moths, also known as Indian meal moths, can seem like an impossible pest to control once they’ve made themselves at home in your kitchen. Their tiny larvae weave messy webs as they contaminate your food with their cocoons and frass (aka: bug poop).
Getting rid of an existing infestation is challenging enough, but keeping pantry moths from returning again and again often feels hopeless without professional help.
That’s where All Green Pest Control comes in. As Vancouver’s premier pest control company using integrated pest management techniques, we know how to banish pantry moths for good.
We’ll design a customized pantry moth control program for your home that tackles every stage of the pantry moth life cycle through inspection, monitoring, sanitation, and exclusion. With our chemical-free treatments, we’ll get your infestation under control and keep it that way. No more webs in your flour or larvae wriggling out of your pasta box!
Signs of a Pantry Moth Problem
The moths themselves don’t damage food — that’s all down to their larvae. But spotting just a few flying moths means you likely have an uncontrolled infestation somewhere in your pantry. Other signs include:
- Fine silken webs in cupboards or food containers
- Clumps of grain, flour, pasta, etc. stuck together with webbing
- Tiny black or brown specks mixed into food
- Larvae or cocoons in food containers or cupboards
- Chewed holes in food packaging
- Moths fluttering when you open infested cupboards
Uncontrolled pantry moth infestations can ruin all sorts of dry goods, spices, baking ingredients, and even unsealed bags of pet food. Getting rid of them calls for thorough sanitation measures and relentless monitoring.

Why Pantry Moth Prevention Matters
Pantry moths are masters at sneaking into your home undetected — often hiding out in packaging of bulk foods and grains bought from the store. Just a few larvae can give rise to an explosion down the road. Within weeks to months, you’ll have full blown contamination as they spread to colonize all suitable food sources in your kitchen.
And once an infestation takes hold, getting back to pest-free status is tough. Pantry moth eggs and larvae hunker down out of sight in tiny crevices and food containers. They leave behind microscopic hairs that cause allergic reactions and contamination that makes food unpalatable.
Without control measures, pantry moths stick around indefinitely — laying new eggs to continue the cycle. Infestations that are allowed free reign for too long often mean having to throw out a lot of food to starve them out. That gets expensive, not to mention wasteful. Diligent monitoring and prevention tactics are essential for staying on top of pantry moth problems before they spiral out of control.
Pantry Moth Prevention Tips
While pantry moths can show up without warning in packaged foods, there are some steps you can take to discourage them from settling in long term:.
Store food properly
- Keep all food in insect-proof airtight containers – no paper or plastic bags
- Glass, plastic, or metal containers all work to exclude pests
- Make sure lids seal tightly
Clean up infested items immediately
- Don’t just toss infested packages back on the shelf!
- Remove all contaminated items to the trash outside
- Thoroughly clean shelves, corners, and crevices
Inspect packaged food before storage
- Check bulk bins at the store for signs of infestation
- Inspect packaging carefully for small holes or larvae
- Freeze new grain products for 4-7 days to kill any eggs or larvae
Use pantry pest monitoring traps
- Pheromone traps draw in adult moths to get captured
- Sticky traps catch larvae emerging from food packages
Keep the kitchen clutter-free
- Don’t give pests places to hide and breed
- Store seldom used appliances like mixers out of the kitchen
- Clean out old junk from drawers and corners
Following these tips religiously in your own home will go a long way towards preventing pantry moth problems. But if you already have a full blown infestation with heavy contamination? Call in the professionals!
