Pantry Moths Kit Guide

If you are reading this page it is probably because you have been using our MothPrevention Pantry Moth Traps and have concerns that your infestation is too serious for traps alone to deal with.

You need an additional selection of specialized products to tackle eggs and larvae.

Let us help you below with some useful tips, as well as provide you with details on how you can build your own Pantry Moth Killer Kit.
