What to look for
Start with the signs.
Webbing or larvae
Threads or larvae inside dry food are useful evidence to record.
Several affected products
List the packages and shelves involved, including pet food if relevant.
Find the food connection.
Pantry pests are a group, not one insect. Certain moths and beetles can infest stored dry foods. Identification and the affected products matter more than the number of moths seen flying in the room.
Describe what you found in the package as well as outside it. Note the product, cupboard and date. If you have already removed affected food, say which items were involved so that information is still available when you discuss the problem.
A kitchen problem needs a kitchen-specific scope.
For a Montréal home, explain whether the activity is limited to a pantry, spreads across several cupboards or also involves another storage area. Mention what has already been checked and cleaned, and whether new evidence continues to appear.
Ask what identification and inspection are proposed, how food and utensils should be handled before any work, and what follow-up is included. Do not assume a general moth service covers the same problem: damage to clothing requires a different identification and a separate confirmation of service scope.
Questions
A few things worth knowing.
Are pantry moths the same as clothes moths?
No. Food-associated moths and clothes moths are different pests. This service concerns stored-product pests; mention clothing damage separately rather than assuming the same treatment applies.
Can a sealed cupboard still have pantry pests?
The source can be an affected food package, not simply an open cupboard door. Record which products are involved so the source can be considered during identification.
Is removing the flying moths enough?
Visible adults do not describe the whole problem. Check which food products are affected and discuss continuing activity; the assessment needs to consider the source as well as the insects in the room.
