About Outdoor Moth Control
Moths are actually quite under-appreciated flying insects. Some people state that moths are even more colorful than butterflies. However, outdoor moths do tend to become problematic when they invade homes and gardens. They can destroy trees (i.e. the Gypsy moth, which can devour a hardwood tree) and plants, especially in their larval form. If left untreated for a long enough period of time, moth/larvae can eventually overcome and consume an entire garden or even parts of a forest. Consequently, it is essential to halt moth infestations before they reach this critical, almost irreversible point. In order to control moth problems, Pest Mall provides numerous different mechanical and chemical products. By allowing the homeowner to choose between these two methods, he or she will be able to find the optimal product for his or her specific situation.
Outdoor Moth Behavior : Tend to only get problematic in unusually...
Outdoor moths tend to only get problematic in unusually large numbers. Otherwise, they are typically less troublesome than most indoor moths, some of which will chew through clothes and carpets. Moths that live outdoors usually are classified as pests because they are attracted to light and will therefore swarm around, creating a very unsightly mess. Most outdoor moths prefer to emerge at night to scour for food. Usually, more than the moths themselves, their larvae are where the real problem lies. In specific, the Gypsy moth (a common type of outdoor moth found throughout the U.S., although more common) has undeniably destructive larvae. This species as a whole is the biggest threat to hardwood trees. The larvae, in order to protect themselves, bore into hardwood trees, crippling the trees’ structure. In addition to the larvae, adult Gypsy moths attack tree foliage, capable of completely stripping a tree of its leaves.
How to Get Rid of Outdoor Moths
Because outdoor moths are found, well, outdoors, their pest control method will be different from that of indoor moths’. With most flying insects in general, light traps are efficient in killing and controlling insect populations. The only downside to a light trap is that it requires an electrical outlet to work, meaning that the trap will most likely be near the home when it should be about 30 feet away. However, if one can also choose to simply use an extension cable to fix this issue. Since light traps usually contain glue traps as well, they will act as a clean, non-chemical based means of effectively killing outdoor moths.
In terms of chemical treatments, Pest Mall offers numerous different products. The wettable powders can be applied to cracks and crevices outdoors and along the house’s perimeters. The liquid insecticides can be applied along walls and on plants specified by the product label. We also supply some dust products for outdoor moth control, although you only want to place it in areas where it has a low to no chance of drifting off with the wind; inhaling a dust product is dangerous and hazardous to the health of living organisms. Unlike the light traps, these products will kill moths that pass through or land on the pesticides.

Q. Annual Miller moth problem
In the Seattle area where I live, we have had serious Miller moth invasion inside our home. We have checked for crevices and openings around windows, used yellow lighting outdoors to no avail. They have been a problem every year now for 4 or 5 years. I tried a bug light indoors..it only attracted them but did not kill them.
A. Miller Moths are outdoor moths that can be found around the house because they are initially attracted to lights. Checking and double checking for bad screening, cracks and crevices by the doors and windows as well as other entry points by utility lines will be crucial for miller moth exclusion.
Landscaping may also affect the population and may attract more miller moths than you will like.
Instant knockdown agents are the most effective since little insecticides will really affect Miller moths. CB-Dforce HPX is one of the few insecticides that we can recommend because it has a general "moth" on the product label as a target pest. Other sprays will have certain species of moths labeled or it will say "small flying moth" which you can try as well like 565 Plus XLO.

Q. How to get rid of dusty moths?
we are invaded by ugly grey moths. Our back patio is full of them. how do we get rid of them?
A. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get rid of outdoor moths completely since they nest and breed outdoors. You can apply Lambdastar 9.7 to the outer surface of the structure to kill the ones that come in contact with that treated area.

Q. Moths
I have a major infestation outside at my front door and in my grass and bushes. They seem to have a cumulated after we had a lot of rain. What is the best product I can use to get rid of them?
A. We recommend applying Cy-Kick CS to the isolated areas of infestation. Because it is an encapsulated insecticide, the residual will hold up much longer outdoors than other insecticides. Moreover, Cy-Kick CS is safe to apply on ornamental plants or plants that do not bear fruit or vegetables. Apply is to the infested grass and bushes once every two months.

Q. Moth infestation
I have a tree in front of my house that is being infested with moths. They just appeared suddenly. Also, birds seem to be attracted to the tree as well. I do not know whether or not that means anything but I need to know how long or if I need to do anything to get rid of the moths.
A. Birds are most likely gathering around that tree because of the moths and their larvae or other bugs that may also be infesting that tree. The best way to go about this treatment is to simply spray a residual insecticide on the tree. Ornamental plants can be safely sprayed with any residual product such as Suspend SC, Talstar Pro, Demand CS, and Temprid SC.

Q. what can we use to rid us of we believe to be lawn grub. The lawn is going brown in many places starting with a small round circle and developing larger in a couple of weeks or so.We are told its caused by lawn grub which is what the creamy coloured larvae nests we have in so many places on the outside walls of house and eaves and guttering plus a outside fan we have on the ceiling in the undercover entertaining area. We clean them down because they look so awful and often they leave a stain behind on the rendering. These look so awful on our lovely newly built house. We are so tired of cleaning them away to only find what seems twice as much in a day or two. Can you tell me is there anything that we can purchase to stop this annoying problem keep happening as they look so awful but if it is right what we are being told that this is also the problem with our grass& we certainly do not want to loose a new lawn that has cost us a fair amount of money just lately having layed by a landscaper when our house was finished. We appreciate what we can buy to solve all problems. We have 2 small pooches so we cannot use anything that is slightly toxic but I really do not want to if it is at all possible
A. You do need to treat your lawn. You can use something called Merit 75 WP that can be applied to the lawn. Unfortunately, we not have non-toxic means of getting rid of grubs on your lawn.

Q. Grey/Brownish small moths on patio
Hi
I have many many grey/brownish moths on my patio that get in to my house all the time. I am having a hard time identifying them. My patio is dark and covered so great for them to breed! How do I get rid of them? I have cleaned my entire house and do not ever have any food out. I have my grain products in air tight canisters. I have no pets. I really have tried everything to get rid of them. Any ideas would really help. Also when I kill them, they give off a grey powder.
A. Your description matches a few different types of moths so I would not be able to tell you exactly what species you are infested with. However you can control the moth infestation in your patio by treating the area with a product like Suspend SC. If you are dealing with indian meal moths indoors in your kitchen/pantry area I would recommend that you use pheromoned moth traps for their control.

Q. wood moths insects
I live in Prescott, AZ in the woods. Every June/July we have huge amounts of wood moths that bug us. What kind of bug light do you recommend and what spray product for the outside of the house (screens, etc) to help kill them when they land.
Thx
A. Unfortunately, we do not have any fly light traps that will work for outdoor wood moths. For flying moths though, we recommend the insecticide Suspend SC or Cy-kick CS. Cy-kick CS will have a longer residual than Suspend outdoors. All treated areas must be avoided until the treatment has completely dried.

I'm a clean freak but I guess it just can't be helped that sometimes, I will get roaches...I know that now since I live in an apartment and I know that roaches can travel in the walls. I was worried that I had to keep paying for an exterminator. I can't afford one and of course, I just didn't know what to do. Pest Mall helped me out a lot and was really patient with me. Alpine Gel Piston is super easy to use and it totally works!
