Pantry Pest & Clothing Pest Control Ottawa
Moths in the cupboard or holes in your sweaters usually start with one infested item.
What you need to know
Pantry pests such as pantry moths and grain beetles feed on dry goods like flour, cereal, rice, pet food, and birdseed, and often arrive inside a package. Clothing pests, including clothes moths and carpet beetles, feed on natural fibres such as wool, fur, feathers, and silk, and often hide in closets, storage, and under furniture. In both cases the real fix is finding the source, not just killing the adults you see flying.
Covered under the PestPass Plan ($159/visit, quarterly, $636/year) and the One-Time Treatment ($249/visit, 30-day guarantee). See plans & pricing →
Warning signs
- ✓Small moths flying in the kitchen or near cupboards
- ✓Webbing, clumps, or larvae in flour, cereal, rice, or pet food
- ✓Small holes in wool, fur, or other natural-fibre clothing and rugs
- ✓Small beetles or shed larval skins along baseboards, closets, or windowsills
What to expect
Check pantry shelves, stored food, pet food, closets, and storage areas to find the source.
Infested food should be thrown out and sealed containers used afterwards. Fabric items may need laundering or dry cleaning.
Treat cracks, shelves, baseboards, and storage areas where larvae and adults hide.
Airtight containers, regular vacuuming, and cleaning before long-term storage help prevent a repeat.
