Moth control
How Insecto fights moths
There are two main groups of moths in the household: food moths and manufacturing moths. Although precise control procedures may vary depending on the moth’s feeding habits and habitat, the key components of an effective control program are monitoring key moth as pest control techniques.
Assessment and development of a control plan
If moths become a pest problem, your Insecto pest control specialists will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the pest moth. Based on the findings, a moth control expert will prepare an effective control plan to eliminate your moth problem. Accurate identification of the pest is very important, as there are many different species of food and manufactured goods moths. And specific details are needed to effectively solve the pest problem. Incorrect identification can result in very ineffective moth control.
Customer notification
The short training is very important for the homeowner or business owner to understand the life cycle of moths and understand why control cannot be limited to moths that have been seen flying. That is why the control areas where moth larvae and pupae can be found must be marked in the plan. This is to destroy them before they become adults. Also, educating clients gives them the basics and knowledge of how to prevent moths from returning in the future!
Tracking
A control plan may include pheromone-based traps that are useful for locating moth nests and their nest sizes.
Moth reduction and use of non-chemical control agents
These controls include methods and techniques that help eliminate or greatly reduce the ability of moths to find food, drink, and protect places for them to live and reproduce. For example, some options:
- Remove food and products that have come into contact with moths.
- Reduce opportunities for food and product moths to enter food and products. This can be done by putting them in a “pest proof” container, if possible of course.
- Use sanitation and cleanliness techniques to remove food residues and moisture that can attract food pests.
- Remove trash and other clutter that can increase the chances of the moths living environment.
- Use mechanical means, such as vacuum cleaners, to destroy or reduce the population of moths.
- Check for substances that may be infested by moths. Sometimes they can come with you from a retail store and thus find their way to your home! This is especially the case with food moths lately.
Chemical control
Your Insecto moth control specialist only uses repellents in cases where non-chemical agents and procedures are no longer sufficient to get rid of your moth problem. If moth repellents are needed, they are used according to the law and only by professional moth control experts!
