Pantry moths turn up in stored food such as flour, rice and pet food, while clothes moths target natural fibres in wardrobes and storage boxes around Sunshine Coast homes. Small webbing or grub-like larvae near food packets or clothing are common signs to look out for. Warm, still cupboards and wardrobes give moths a place to lay eggs undisturbed, which is why activity often builds up slowly over several months before it is noticed.
The crew will check pantry shelving, food storage containers and wardrobes for activity, and treat cracks and corners where larvae can shelter once food or fabric sources are removed. Cleaning out affected pantry items is usually recommended alongside the treatment so the cycle does not restart straight away. Woollen jumpers, blankets and natural-fibre rugs stored away for the season are worth checking closely, since these items are common targets for clothes moth larvae.

Because moths can travel between rooms once numbers build up, a check of nearby cupboards and storage areas is often included in the same visit, along with linen presses and any second pantry or laundry storage further from the kitchen.
