The “Smart” Advantage

Any of your bug and pest problems will be quickly controlled with our quality extermination work. We utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to ensure moths are removed and prevented from returning.

Understanding Moth Infestations

Moths—including Pantry Moths and Clothing Moths—thrive in dark, undisturbed, and humid places. They are often brought into Kenyan homes through packaged foods, though they can also enter through open windows or from adjacent buildings. Their presence is not a reflection of your housekeeping; they are opportunistic pests looking for a food source.

1. Pantry Moths (Indian Meal & Flour Moths)

These pests do significant damage to stored flour, grains, and cereals. Even a small infestation can ruin the taste of food due to the larvae and their sticky webbing.

• Identification: Adult Indian Meal Moths have a wingspan of about 3/4 inch with coppery-red wing tips. The larvae are off-white and spin a great deal of webbing while feeding.
• Behavior: Larvae often migrate away from their food source to spin cocoons on walls, countertops, and ceilings.
• Risk: They infest flour, grain products, dried fruit, dog food, and sweets.

2. Grain Moths

Active even at lower temperatures, Grain Moths attack whole kernels of barley, corn, oats, and rice.

• Detection: Infested grain often takes on a sickening smell and taste. You may notice debris on top of stored grain.
• Appearance: These moths are pale yellowish-brown with a wingspread of about 5/8 inch.

3. Clothes Moths

These moths target closets, drawers, and storage areas, specifically attacking animal-based fabrics like wool and silk.

• The Damage: The larvae feed on natural fibers. They are especially attracted to fabrics with food stains, sweat, or urine, which provide necessary nutrients.
• Prevention: Always launder or dry clean clothes before putting them into long-term storage, as larvae rarely survive on perfectly clean fabric.
