Common Misunderstandings

Many pantry pests are brought in unknowingly through store-bought items. Treating the pantry without removing the infested product won’t solve the issue. For example, Indian meal moths may hide deep in dry goods.

Why It Matters

Pantry pests can contaminate food and lead to waste, while insects like ants and spiders can multiply fast if not controlled. Some wasps and spiders may also pose safety risks to children or pets.

How We Treat It

For general household pests, we recommend quarterly preventive treatments. For pantry pests, we identify and help remove the source of the infestation, then treat the space to prevent reoccurrence.
