Professional Moth Control
Clothes moths and pantry moths can silently destroy your wardrobe and contaminate your food storage. We eliminate infestations and provide lasting protection.
Clothes & Pantry Moth Elimination
Moths are silent destroyers that often go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Clothes moths feed on natural fibers — wool, cashmere, silk, and fur — causing irreparable damage to valuable clothing, heirloom textiles, and rugs. They avoid light and prefer undisturbed closets, drawers, and storage areas. Pantry moths like the Mediterranean flour moth infest stored grain products, flour, nuts, and dried fruit, contaminating food supplies with larvae, webbing, and frass. Both types reproduce in hidden areas and can be difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. Our moth control program identifies the species, locates all infested materials, and applies targeted treatments that eliminate moths at every life stage.

Common Moth Species We Treat
Clothes Moths
Webbing clothes moths and casemaking clothes moths are the two most common species that damage fabrics. They are small, golden-buff colored moths that avoid light. It is their larvae — not the adults — that feed on natural fibers, causing holes and bare patches in wool, silk, and fur garments.
Mediterranean Flour Moths
Also called Indian meal moths, these are the most common pantry moth. Adults have distinctive wings that are pale gray near the head and coppery-brown toward the tips. Larvae produce silken webbing in infested food products and can contaminate entire pantry areas.
Our Moth Control Process
Every treatment follows our proven three-step approach to eliminate pests and keep them from coming back.
Inspect
We identify the moth species and inspect closets, drawers, storage areas, and pantry shelving to locate all infested materials and determine the scope of the infestation.
Treat
Infested items are identified for cleaning or disposal. Targeted treatments are applied to closets, shelving, cracks, and crevices where larvae and pupae hide. Pheromone traps may be deployed to monitor and reduce adult populations.
Prevent
We recommend proper garment storage and food storage practices, regular inspection protocols, and follow-up treatments to ensure all life stages are eliminated. Pheromone monitoring traps provide ongoing detection.
Signs of a Moth Problem
- Holes or bare patches in wool clothing, sweaters, or blankets
- Small golden or buff-colored moths fluttering near closets (clothes moths avoid bright light)
- Silken webbing or cocoons in pantry products, flour, or dried goods
- Small caterpillars (larvae) in food products or on fabric surfaces
- Shed larval skins or frass (tiny fecal pellets) in closets or pantry areas
Moth Prevention Tips
Reduce your risk of infestation with these expert recommendations.
Dry-clean or launder wool and natural-fiber clothing before storing for the season — moths are attracted to body oils, food stains, and perspiration.
Store seasonal wool and fur items in airtight garment bags or sealed storage containers.
Store dry goods in airtight glass or plastic containers rather than original packaging.
Vacuum closets, drawers, and storage areas regularly, paying attention to corners, crevices, and under shelving.
Inspect vintage or secondhand clothing and textiles before bringing them into your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between clothes moths and pantry moths?
Clothes moths are small, golden-buff moths that avoid light and feed on natural fibers (wool, silk, fur). Pantry moths (Indian meal moths) have two-toned wings and infest stored food products. The treatment approach differs significantly based on the species.
Can moths damage synthetic clothing?
Clothes moths feed on natural animal-based fibers — wool, silk, cashmere, fur, and feathers. They do not damage purely synthetic fabrics. However, they may feed on food stains or blended fabrics that contain some natural fibers.
Why do I keep finding moths even after cleaning?
Moth eggs and pupae can survive in cracks, crevices, under baseboards, and in carpet fibers that vacuuming alone may not reach. Professional treatment targets these hidden life stages to break the reproduction cycle completely.
