Moth Pest Control
Moths may seem harmless, but they can wreak havoc in your home, damaging clothing, carpets, and food. Our professional moth control services offer effective solutions to eliminate and prevent moth infestations, keeping your home safe.
How to Identify Moth Infestation in Your Home
Identifying a moth infestation early is crucial for effective control. Look for these common signs and infestation areas to determine if moths have invaded your home.
Closets and Wardrobes
Small holes in clothing, especially wool or silk items, can indicate moth activity. Check for larvae or cocoons.
Pantries & Food Storage
Moths can infest dry food items, such as grains and cereals. Look for webbing or larvae in packaging.
Carpets and Rugs
Moth larvae often feed on natural fibers in carpets. Small, worn patches on carpets may indicate an infestation.
Dresser Drawers
Moths may hide in drawers with fabric or woolen items. Spotting larvae or cocoons is a common sign.
Ceiling Corners & Walls
Moths sometimes rest on walls and ceilings. If you see small, brown moths in these areas, it may be an infestation.
Why Do Moths Invade the Home?
Moths invade homes searching for food and shelter, particularly items containing natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton. Pantry moths, on the other hand, are attracted to dry food items. They thrive in warm, dark places, where they can lay eggs and spread quickly.
Prevention Tips
- Store clothing and food in airtight containers.
- Regularly clean and vacuum closets, rugs, and pantries.
- Use cedar chips or lavender sachets to naturally repel moths.
- Frequently inspect your pantry for signs of moths or larvae.
- Seal cracks and openings in doors and windows to prevent moth entry.

How to Get Rid of Moths
Getting rid of moths requires targeted treatment methods to eliminate existing moths and prevent future infestations. Here are effective ways to control moths in your home.
Common Treatments
Deep Cleaning & Vacuuming
Regularly vacuum carpets, closets, and corners to remove moth eggs and larvae. Dispose of the vacuum bag promptly to prevent re-infestation.
Use Moth Traps
Place pheromone-based traps in areas where you’ve noticed moth activity. These traps attract and trap adult moths, reducing reproduction.
Natural Repellents
Cedar and lavender act as natural moth repellents. Place cedar blocks or lavender sachets in closets and drawers to keep moths away.
Seal and Store
Store off-season clothing in airtight bags or containers to prevent moths from laying eggs on fabrics. Keep pantry items in sealed containers to avoid attracting pantry moths.
Freezing Infested Items
For delicate items, place them in a sealed bag and freeze for 24-48 hours. Freezing kills moth eggs and larvae without damaging fabrics.
Every Moth infestation is unique and can quickly spread, causing more damage over time. That’s why fast action is crucial. We offer same-day Moth Pest Control services. Get Your Estimate or Call us at (888) 706-6384.

Moth - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for moths to go away after pest control?
The time it takes for moths to go away after pest control depends on how bad the infestation is and the treatment used. Usually, you will see fewer moths within a few days after the first treatment. However, getting rid of all moths can take a few weeks. This gives time for any remaining eggs to hatch and be treated. Exterminators may need to come back to check and apply more treatments if needed.
How do I get rid of moths permanently?
To get rid of moths for good, follow these steps:
- Keep things clean: Regularly clean areas where moths are often found, like closets and drawers. Wash infested fabrics in hot water and dry them on high heat.
- Check and clean storage areas: Regularly inspect and clean pantry shelves, cupboards, and storage containers. Throw away any infested food and store grains and cereals in airtight containers.
- Hire professional pest control services: Get professional exterminators to treat your home. They use effective treatments to kill moths and can advise on how to prevent future infestations.
Is moth control safe for pets and children?
Yes, professional moth control is safe for pets and children. Exterminators use treatments that are effective against moths but safe for your family. These treatments usually include low-toxicity insecticides. Be sure to inform the exterminator about any pets or children in the house so they can take extra precautions, like keeping them away from treated areas until it’s safe.
What kills moths instantly?
Professional exterminators use insecticides that kill moths on contact. These can be applied as sprays or foggers in infested areas. There are also traps that use pheromones to attract and kill moths quickly. While these methods work fast, a full pest control plan with follow-up treatments is needed to make sure all moths are gone.
What do moths hate the most?
Moths hate strong smells like lavender, cedar, and certain essential oils like peppermint and eucalyptus. You can use these essential scents to keep moths away from specific areas. For example, place sachets of dried lavender or cedar chips in closets and drawers. However, these methods should be used along with professional treatments to effectively control moths.
How much time will it take for a moth control service?
A typical moth pest control service takes a few hours. The exterminator will first inspect your home to see how bad the infestation is and what type of moth is present. They will then treat the infested areas with insecticides, sprays, or traps. Follow-up visits may be needed to make sure all moths are gone and to prevent them from coming back.
Will pest control get rid of moths?
Yes, pest control will get rid of moths. Professional pest control services use special treatments to kill moths at all stages, including eggs, larvae, and adults. They inspect your home, apply insecticides, and give advice on how to prevent moths from coming back. Follow-up visits may also be done to make sure all moths are gone and stay gone.
