Indian Meal Moths
Taking Care of Infestations with Ease
Indian meal moths are one of the most common stored-product pests found in homes, food processing plants, grain storage, and processing facilities. The larvae prefer to feed on coarsely ground flour but also commonly feed on whole grains, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, beans, crackers, dry dog food, and more.
The larvae produce a silky web over the surface of food materials. This webbing is a sure-fire sign of an infestation and is usually the first sign homeowners notice. However, some homeowners will notice the adult moth flying around the pantry and kitchen areas. If you have an Indian meal moth infestation, trust ValuePest to take care of it. Our thorough and highly trained professionals know exactly how to flush infestations from your home and keep it protected against all pests.

Indian Meal Moth Life Cycle
Females lay 100 to 400 eggs over an 18-day period at night on the larval food source. Their life cycle lasts from 25 to 135 days. Usually, there are 4 to 6 generations per year depending on the food supply and temperature.
