Moths
Australia is home to an impressive 22,000 species of moths, though only about half of these have been scientifically classified. Characterized by two pairs of wings covered in scales, large compound eyes, and a coiled proboscis, these species exhibit a wide range of sizes and appearances. While most moths pose no threat and many play beneficial roles in silk production and as a food source, certain species, such as the notorious webbing clothes moth and the case-making clothes moth, can become significant household pests. Their presence can lead to serious damage, necessitating the intervention of a qualified pest control expert.
Moths Treatment
It becomes clear that certain moth species can be quite bothersome when you discover their wriggling caterpillars in your cereal box, notice holes in your favorite sweater, or see your plants with chewed leaves. Area Specialist offers professional moth control services, including thorough moth inspections and effective treatments.
When dealing with a moth infestation in your home, pantry moths and clothes moths are typically the primary culprits. These pests can inflict considerable damage on natural materials such as clothing. Generally, female moths can lay an average of 30 to 50 eggs throughout their lifespan, attaching them to various materials. The webbing clothes moth has a development period of approximately 2 to 3 months. After laying her eggs, the female moth dies, while the male can live for up to one month. In contrast, the case-making clothes moth takes about 46 to 116 days to develop, with adult females living 3 to 8 days and males living 3 to 5 days.
