We treat all common moth species found in residential and commercial properties, including clothes moths (webbing and case-bearing), pantry moths (Indian meal moths), carpet moths, brown house moths, and white-shouldered house moths. Our technicians are trained to identify different moth species and implement the most effective treatment strategies for each type of infestation.

Signs of a moth infestation include: 1) Visible adult moths flying or resting on walls and ceilings; 2) Small holes or irregular damage in clothing, fabrics, or carpets; 3) Silky tubes or webbing on fabrics or in food storage areas; 4) Small cream-colored larvae (caterpillars) in closets, carpets, or pantries; 5) Cocoons in hidden areas like corners or folds of fabric; 6) Unusual musty odor in closets or food storage areas; and 7) Damaged food products in pantries or cupboards.

Moths can enter your home through: 1) Open doors and windows, especially at night when they're attracted to light; 2) Gaps around doors, windows, and utility penetrations; 3) Infested items brought into the home, such as secondhand clothing, furniture, or food products; 4) Grocery items that already contain moth eggs or larvae; 5) Attached garages or storage areas; and 6) Natural migration from outdoor areas, particularly during warmer months.

Yes, our moth treatments are designed with your family's safety in mind. We use targeted application methods and products that are approved for residential use when applied according to label instructions. During treatment, we'll advise you on any temporary precautions, such as staying out of treated areas until products have dried. We also offer alternative treatment options for sensitive environments or individuals with specific health concerns. Your technician will discuss all safety aspects before beginning treatment.

The duration of a moth treatment depends on several factors, including the type of moths, the extent of the infestation, and the size of the area being treated. A typical residential treatment takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete. More extensive infestations or larger properties may require additional time. Your technician will provide a time estimate during the initial inspection. In some cases, follow-up treatments may be necessary to ensure complete elimination of the infestation.

To prevent moths from returning after treatment: 1) Store clothing and textiles in sealed containers or garment bags; 2) Clean clothing before storage, as moths are attracted to body oils and food stains; 3) Regularly vacuum carpets, upholstery, and dark corners where moths may hide; 4) Store food products in airtight containers; 5) Keep pantry areas clean and free of spilled food; 6) Use cedar blocks or moth repellents in closets and drawers; 7) Inspect secondhand items before bringing them into your home; and 8) Consider regular professional inspections and preventative treatments, especially if you've had previous infestations.

Yes, some preparation is typically required before moth treatment. We'll provide specific instructions based on your situation, but general preparation steps include: 1) Removing items from affected closets, drawers, or pantries; 2) Laundering or dry cleaning infested clothing items; 3) Discarding heavily infested food products; 4) Vacuuming carpets, upholstery, and cracks and crevices; 5) Removing pets and covering fish tanks; and 6) Ensuring good access to areas requiring treatment. Our goal is to make the preparation process as straightforward as possible while ensuring effective treatment.
