Mysterious Moths: Your Questions Answered!

If you’ve ever been aghast to find fluttering moths making your closet their home, or if you’ve wondered about the intricacies of these winged wonders, this post is for you.

What season do moths go away?

Moths have a season. Typically, moths are more active during the warmer months. But when winter approaches, many species of moths either hibernate or lay their eggs to await the return of warmer weather. You’ll likely notice a decrease in moth activity when temperatures drop. So, if you’re dreaming of a moth-free winter wonderland, you might be in luck!

Why do I have moths in my house, and how do I get rid of them?

Have you Ever wondered why moths seem to find your home exceptionally cozy? Here’s the scoop:

  • Food Galore: Your home offers a buffet for moths. Grains, cereals, and, yes, even your woolen clothes provide nourishment for these critters.
  • Seeking Shelter: Similar to how we enjoy comfortable nooks, moths also seek out secure and peaceful locations to deposit their eggs.
  • Lights, Camera, Attraction!: Moths are famously attracted to lights and our homes; well, they shine bright! Can’t blame them, you’ve got a lovely home.

We’ve established that moths love your home for various reasons, but how do you show them the exit? Barrier Pest Control, of course!

At Barrier, we don’t just manage the issue; we target the root cause ensuring that once moths are out, they stay out!
