Moths in Colorado as Seasonal Activity Rises

LONGMONT, Colo. - June 4, 2025 - PRLog -- With moth sightings increasing across the Front Range, OBEX Pest Defense has released a new resource to help Colorado residents understand and manage these often-overlooked pests.

The guide covers the most common types of moths in Colorado, including pantry moths, clothes moths, sphinx moths, and the seasonal miller moth. Each species behaves differently — some infest stored food and fabric, while others migrate in large numbers, swarming homes and buildings during the spring and early summer months.

As many homeowners have already begun spotting moths near windows, closets, and kitchens, OBEX explains where moths hide, what attracts them, and how to reduce activity inside the home. The article emphasizes the importance of sealing dry goods, keeping fabrics clean, reducing bright exterior lighting, and monitoring for signs of larvae.

The annual miller moth migration plays a major role in the uptick of seasonal moth sightings. These moths don't breed indoors but travel in large numbers, seeking shelter in cool, dark places—including garages, basements, and behind curtains. Their attraction to light makes them especially frustrating at night, particularly for homes with porch lights or large windows.

The article also outlines why professional pest control can reduce, but not fully eliminate, miller moth activity. Their outdoor nesting habits and high mobility mean treatment is best used as a temporary barrier, not a complete solution. For pantry and clothes moths, however, targeted treatment and early intervention can resolve infestations effectively.

Colorado's spring weather pattern is a major influence. Shifts in temperature and moisture levels often accelerate moth movement and increase the risk of indoor intrusion. Homeowners and businesses alike are encouraged to stay proactive and informed.

The guide is now live and includes internal resources for further reading, including OBEX's in-depth analysis of the 2025 miller moth migration.
