FACTS & INFORMATION ABOUT MOTHS FROM ONTARIO'S LEADING PEST CONTROL COMPANY

There are thousands of moth species, all varying in size, appearance and colour. Moths belong to the insect order Lepidoptera, which is made up of both moths and butterflies.

Moths have a tendency to stay close to food sources. Most adult moths feed on nectar and sap, whereas the larvae are destructive feeders, feasting on stored foods, fabrics and even museum displays.

The length of time it takes for larvae to transform into adults is dependent on the species, diet and environmental factors. In most cases, it can take one to two months.

Moths commonly gain entry indoors by flying through open doors or windows and being unintentionally brought inside via infested foods, infested plants, infested fabrics and on the clothing we wear.

MOTH INFESTATION CONTROL & REMOVAL

For moth control and to prevent moth infestation be sure to store pantry items in sealed containers and clean up spilled foods immediately. Dry cleaning clothes and steam cleaning furniture may also help stop infestations. Use outdoor lighting at home only when necessary as it attracts these pests at night.

For moth infestation treatment and complete moth removal, contact a moth exterminator like Environmental Pest Control. A licensed technician will survey the area and determine the type of moth infestation before applying the right moth killer.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
