How moths appear in an apartment: all possible ways of infection
If you have ever had to deal with a moth that has become an uninvited guest in your apartment, you have probably wondered: how did the insect get into the house?
It turns out that there are several ways that butterflies with whitish wings can use to get into human dwellings.
First of all, the pest can “ride in” on old things that, for example, were purchased in a second-hand store or borrowed from a rental center.
The second option is that the moth entered the apartment along with old furniture, hiding in its depths.
If we are talking about an apartment building, it is possible that the insect migrated through the ventilation shafts from the living quarters located on the floor below.
Finally, you can bring moths home from the grocery store yourself.
Here, parasites often enter through tiny holes in packages of cereals and flour.
All these methods are actively used by both adult butterflies and their pupae and larvae, which can hide in the seams of stale things or upholstery of upholstered furniture, in cracks that can be found on wooden furniture, as well as in open and long-unclaimed bags filled with cereal products.
