Protect Your Clothes and Pantry from Moths

Found some uninvited guests munching through your favorite sweater? Moths have a knack for showing up where they're least welcome, whether that's your closet, pantry, or that box of old blankets you forgot about. The good news is you're not stuck living with them.

Cedar Pest Control has handled moth control for thousands of homes, and we know exactly where these pests hide and how to get rid of them for good. We'll inspect your home, treat the problem with eco-friendly products, and help you keep moths from coming back. If they show up again between visits, we return and re-treat at no extra charge.

What Moth Problems Look Like

Before you call a pest control company, you'll want to confirm what you're dealing with. Moths are sneaky, so knowing where they hang out and what signs they leave behind makes all the difference. Common hiding spots include dark closets, pantries, and storage areas where fabrics or food sit undisturbed:

Small, beige or gray flying insects around lights at night
Irregular holes in wool, silk, or other natural fabrics
Webbing or cocoons in closet corners or food containers
Dusty residue or droppings near stored clothing or pantry items
Larvae (tiny worms) crawling on walls, shelves, or inside food packages

Spotting one or two moths doesn't mean your house is infested, but ignoring the signs gives them time to multiply. The faster you identify the problem, the easier the pest control process becomes.

The Cost of Ignoring Moth Problems

Moths don't bite or sting, so they're not dangerous to people or pets. The problem is what they do to your stuff. Clothes moths feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, and cashmere, leaving behind holes and ruined fabrics that are expensive to replace. Pantry moths, on the other hand, contaminate your food by laying eggs in flour, grains, and dried goods.

Stop Moths from Infesting Your Home

Moth control starts with removing the conditions that attract them in the first place. These pests love dark, undisturbed spaces where fabrics or food are stored, so a few simple changes make your home far less inviting. Prevention doesn't take much effort, but the payoff is worth it:

Store Clothes Properly: Use airtight containers or garment bags for wool, silk, and other natural fibers. Cedar blocks or lavender sachets help repel moths naturally.
Clean Your Pantry Regularly: Wipe down shelves, check expiration dates, and store grains, flour, and cereals in sealed containers. Moths sneak in through tiny openings in packaging.
Vacuum Often: Moth larvae hide in carpet edges, under furniture, and along baseboards. Regular vacuuming removes eggs and larvae before they hatch.
Inspect Before Storing: Wash or dry-clean clothing before putting it away for the season. Moths are attracted to perspiration, food stains, and oils left on fabric.
Seal Entry Points: Check for gaps around windows, doors, and vents where moths might sneak inside. A little caulk goes a long way.

Good storage and regular cleaning help keep moths away from clothing and pantry goods. If damage is already showing up, Cedar Pest Control finds the source and treats both larvae and adults.
