Clothes Moths

Clothes moths are found in bedrooms, closets, living rooms, basements, or attics because they infest wool fabrics, hair, fur, silk, felt and feathers. The longer they remain undetected in a home, the more damage to clothing, bedding, rugs and furniture will occur.

Treatment for Clothes Moths

Treatments for Clothes Moths consist of an insecticide application to the areas of activity in the carpets, furniture, closets, or other areas where the infested clothing or materials are stored. Preparation is necessary before the treatment can be performed (see prep sheet below).

Preparation Sheet for Clothes Moths

Please clean the home prior to the pest control visit, this will help eliminate any competing food sources and provide a better product application.

  • Remove everything from the closets, bureaus, dressers, and other areas where the moths have been seen.
  • All clothes, curtains, and bed linens should be laundered, or steam cleaned if possible.  If clothes are already clean; a cycle through the dryer will prevent a reintroduction of pests after the treatment.
  • Clean all floors with a cleaner and vacuum any carpeted floors and rugs.
  • Remove all items on the top of the beds and couches and clear out the surrounding areas around them.
  • There should be a clear path of access for the exterminator to inspect and treat any areas where pests have been seen.
  • Any harborage areas (stored items) should be removed from the areas to be sprayed before treatment to eliminate any areas for the pests hide and to allow enough space for the exterminator to safely perform the treatment.
  • Please let us know if anyone in the home has any special allergy problems, is pregnant, or is under the age of one because additional precautions may need to be taken.
  • All people and pets must leave the home before the treatment starts and remain out of the home for at least 4 hours after the treatment is completed.
