What have you noticed?
- Small moths near stored food
- Beetles or webbing inside a package
- Activity around dry pet food or seed
These observations help begin an assessment; they do not confirm a diagnosis.
Identify the food connection
Describe the product, shelf and packaging where you noticed insects. Pantry pests can involve more than the main kitchen cupboard: pet food and birdseed also matter. A moth elsewhere in the house is not automatically a stored-food pest. Identification keeps pantry concerns separate from textile damage.
Look beyond a single visible insect
The University of Minnesota explains that finding the affected food source matters to control. In an enquiry, name the products already checked and any nearby storage you cannot access. Ask for preparation and disposal instructions appropriate to the findings. Do not apply a household insecticide to food or food packaging.
Before you arrange the visit
Give the full address, the affected rooms or structures and the person who can provide access. Confirm the work included, preparation, pricing and any later checks. Let us know if specialist access or a particular document is required.
Are pantry moths and clothes moths the same enquiry?
No. Explain whether the evidence is associated with food or textiles. That distinction helps direct identification and the service scope.
