Clothes Moth Control in Astoria, Queens

Signs of clothes moth infestation include small irregular holes in wool clothing, silky tubes or cases on fabric surfaces, adult moths flying near closets (especially at dusk), and larvae or cocoons in dark corners of wardrobes. You may also notice damage to carpets, upholstered furniture, or stored blankets. Our technicians provide free inspections to confirm the presence and extent of infestations.

Our comprehensive treatment includes a thorough inspection to identify infestation sources, targeted application of safe insecticides to affected areas, treatment of cracks and crevices where larvae hide, and recommendations for cleaning and preventive measures. We typically recommend follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination, as moth eggs can be resistant to initial treatments. All products used are safe for use around clothing and fabrics.

Pricing depends on the severity of the infestation, the size of your Astoria property, the number of rooms affected, and the extent of treatment required. A single-room closet infestation may cost $550–$800, while whole-apartment treatments in larger prewar units or severe multi-room infestations requiring multiple visits can reach $2,000–$5,000. We provide detailed estimates after our initial inspection and customize treatment plans to fit your budget.

Prevention includes regular vacuuming of closets and storage areas, dry cleaning or washing woolens before seasonal storage, using cedar blocks or lavender sachets as natural deterrents, storing off-season clothing in sealed plastic containers, and maintaining proper ventilation in closets. We provide detailed prevention guidance and offer maintenance plans for Astoria properties prone to recurring infestations, particularly older buildings with shared spaces.
