Fish moth infestation is a common problem, but thankfully it is not difficult to treat if you let experts help you. Our homes are ideal for these little scavengers because the three things they need to survive and thrive—food, water and shelter—are found in abundance in homes.
These little creatures usually enter a house through cracks around doors or windows. With that said, they can use other openings too for entering.
Fish moths prefer to dwell in dark, damp spaces like basements, bathrooms, attics, and kitchens. They feed on wallpaper, dead skin cells, books and other starchy materials.
In many cases, Fish moth infestation is not detected until the problem becomes severe, chiefly because fish moths are nocturnal and very secretive. In addition, as they reproduce quickly, it doesn’t take a long time for their population to grow.
A fish moth on the floor or bathing tub or sink is a sure sign of fish moth infestation. Other signs include recurring damages on the wallpaper or books, both of which are favourite foods of fish moths. Their tiny pepper-like faeces are another tell-tale sign of infestation.
Treating fish moth infestation with DIY products is not possible. The pesticides you find at stores can kill individual insects but cannot treat an entire infestation. For that, you need professional pest control technicians.
Our fish moth treatment service starts with interviewing you and taking a round of your house to understand the extent of the problem. Next, we address the infestation using natural pesticide and close all possible entrance points. Our experts will also advice you on how you can keep your home “fish moth free” in future.
