Pantry Moths

Pantry moths are a common household pest across Australia, particularly during the warmer months. They feed on a wide variety of pantry staples, including grains, cereals, pasta, rice, bread, dried fruit, nuts, and spices. Without swift action, an infestation can quickly get out of control.

A single moth can lay up to 400 tiny white eggs, often on or near food surfaces. The resulting larvae—cream-coloured with dark heads—can grow up to 2cm long and leave visible tracks across food items and containers. Adult moths are often seen flying around at dusk or during the night.

At Brisbane Pest Management, we use commercial-grade treatments that target every stage of the moth lifecycle—from eggs to fully grown adults. Our specialised chemicals are applied quickly and precisely to affected areas, eliminating the infestation and reducing health risks.

Following treatment, our professionals will implement a preventative maintenance program, equipping your household with the knowledge and strategies to keep pantry moths from returning.
