(Order Lepidoptera)
Moth pests, often underestimated but highly destructive, pose a significant threat to agriculture and textiles. These insects, primarily the larvae, are known for their veracious appetite, devour crops, stored grains and natural fibres like cotton and wool. Their insidious presence can lead to substantial economic losses and damage to clothing and fabric items.
Pest control treatment for moths typically begins with a thorough inspection to identify the extent of the infestation and specific type of moth involved. This is followed by targeted measures such as the application of insecticides or the use of pheromone traps to reduce moth populations. Preventative actions like sealing entry points and properly storing vulnerable items are also a part of effective pest control. Regular monitoring and follow up treatments may be necessary to ensure long term protection against these persistent pests.
