Moth Control Service

Getting rid of moths involves both eliminating adult moths and preventing their larvae from causing damage to clothes, fabrics, and stored food. Here are effective methods to control and eliminate moths:

1. Identify the Type of Moths

• Clothes Moths: Look for small, narrow-winged moths often found near closets and clothing storage areas.
• Pantry Moths: Identify small, brown or gray moths found near stored food, grains, and pantry items.

2. Remove and Clean Infested Items

• Clothing and Fabrics: Wash infested clothing and fabrics in hot water or dry clean them to kill moth larvae and eggs.
• Pantry Items: Discard infested foods and grains. Freeze susceptible items for several days to kill any remaining larvae before storing them in airtight containers.

3. Vacuum and Clean

• Surfaces: Vacuum carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, and curtains where moth larvae and eggs may be hiding.
• Closets and Storage Areas: Thoroughly clean closets, drawers, and shelves. Use a stiff brush to remove moth larvae and cocoons.

4. Use Moth Traps

• Pheromone Traps: Place sticky pheromone traps in closets, cabinets, and other areas where moths are active. These traps attract and catch male moths, reducing mating and egg-laying.

5. Natural Repellents

• Lavender and Cedar: Use sachets filled with dried lavender or cedar chips to repel moths from clothing and storage areas.
• Essential Oils: Apply essential oils like lavender, cedarwood, or peppermint to cotton balls and place them in closets or drawers.

6. Seal Entry Points

• Screens and Seals: Repair or install window screens and use weather stripping around doors to prevent moths from entering your home.

7. Professional Help

• Pest Control Services: Consider consulting a professional pest control service if moth infestations persist or are extensive. They can provide targeted treatments and advice tailored to your specific situation.
