Description

The bottom half of the adult moth's front wing is reddish brown/coppery. Overall color varies between dirty white, greenish, pinkish, or brownish, with a dark head. Adults have five hooked pairs of well developed prolegs on the abdomen.

Why be concerned?

The Indian meal moth is one of several moths that live on and in stored food. Similar to the cockroach, Indian Meal Moths result in a contaminated, devoured, and destroyed food products.

What You Can Do

Inspect food packaging, looking for small holes or webbing. Be especially careful with bulk food, dry pet food, and wild birdseed. If you see adult moths, check the 90-degree angles in your cabinets and ceiling for cocoons. Dispose of infested food outside.

What We Would Do

Your technician will identify and properly dispose of infested food. Further intervention may include minimal treatment to cracks and crevices and/or installing pheromone traps to capture adult males. Monitoring continues until the problem is solved.
