How do I know if I have food moths?
Discovering small moths in kitchens or moths in kitchen cupboards may be a sign of a food moth infestation. 

Although food product moths are pests traditionally associated with food factories, bakeries or commercial foodstores, they are now becoming increasingly common in the home, with people often reporting finding tiny moths in their kitchen and wondering what they can be. Other signs that may suggest food moth activity are maggots in kitchens or on kitchen walls and ceilings. These maggots are actually the larval stage of kitchen moths.

There are several types of food product moth: Indian Meal Moths (Plodia interpunctella) are a food moth pest often associated with nuts, dried fruit and grains (Indian Meal = maize). Warehouse Moths (Ephestia elutella) and Tropical Warehouse Moths (Ephestia cautella) are primarily associated with stored cereals, nuts and dried fruit, with the former also favouring cocoa and chocolate. Another less common species is the Mill Moth or Mediterranean Flour Moth (Ephestia kuehniella).

How do I identify which moth I have?
It is not necessary to identify the exact type of food moth as this is not particularly important. Carrying out food moth treatments for a food moth infestation, whichever species you have is very much the same. 

To help you carry out a successful food moth treatment, we highly recommend our Food Moth Killer Kits. These provide all the professional moth killer products you need together with an easy to follow step-by-step professional advice sheet.
