Pantry Pest Control for Homes & Businesses
Protect Your Food, Storage, and Reputation from Moth Infestations
Indian Meal Moths are small but destructive pantry pests that contaminate dry food goods in homes, restaurants, grocery stores, and warehouses. Their larvae feed on grains, flour, cereal, dried fruit, pet food, and more—rendering products unusable and leading to costly waste.
At Blackwood Pest Solutions, we offer targeted Indian Meal Moth control that eliminates active infestations and helps prevent reinfestation. Whether you’re dealing with moths in a residential kitchen or a commercial facility, we’ll help you reclaim your storage areas and safeguard your food supply.
Why Indian Meal Moths Are a Serious Problem
- Food Contamination: Larvae spin silk webs and leave behind frass (droppings), spoiling entire food packages.
- Rapid Spread – Moths lay eggs in dry goods and multiply quickly across cabinets and storage areas.
- Difficult to Detect: Eggs and larvae are small and easily overlooked until damage is already done.
- Cross-Contamination Risk: Once introduced, they can infest multiple products and even neighboring units in multi-family or commercial settings.

FAQs: Indian Meal Moth
How did Indian Meal Moths get into my pantry?
They’re usually introduced through contaminated food packages—often unnoticed in cereals, grains, or pet food. Once inside, they can spread quickly.
Are Indian Meal Moths harmful to my health?
They don’t bite or carry disease, but their presence contaminates food and can trigger allergies or respiratory irritation due to webbing and droppings.
Do I need to throw away all my pantry items?
Only infested products need to be discarded. Our technicians help identify what can be saved, and we’ll guide you on how to clean and repackage safely.
Can I get rid of pantry moths with store-bought traps?
Pheromone traps may reduce adult moths but won’t address larvae or eggs. A professional approach ensures full elimination and prevents re-infestation.
Is your treatment safe for food storage areas?
Yes. We use food-safe methods and carefully apply treatments away from consumables. Our technicians also advise on how to clean and protect your storage.
How long does it take to get rid of an infestation?
You may see improvement within a few days, but full elimination may take up to 2–3 weeks depending on the extent of the infestation and life stage cycles.
How can I prevent moths from returning?
Store dry goods in airtight containers, rotate older food items forward, clean pantry shelves regularly, and inspect new products before storing them.
