Clothes Moth Control in Flatiron District, Manhattan

Signs of clothes moth infestation include small holes in wool, cashmere, or silk garments, webbing in closet corners, small beige or gold moths flying near wardrobes, and tiny larvae or cocoons on clothing or carpet edges. You may also notice damage to upholstered furniture, rugs, or stored blankets. Our inspection can confirm the presence and extent of the infestation.

Our treatment begins with a thorough inspection of closets, storage areas, and other potential infestation sites. We use targeted insecticides safe for use around fabrics, pheromone traps to monitor activity, and provide detailed guidance on cleaning and prevention. Treatment typically requires follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination of all life stages. We also recommend dry cleaning affected garments and heat-treating or freezing delicate items.

Pricing depends on the severity of infestation, size of your space, and number of affected areas requiring treatment. A minor infestation in a studio apartment starts around $550, while extensive infestations affecting multiple rooms, large wardrobes, or entire multi-bedroom units requiring multiple treatments can reach $5,000. We provide free estimates and customize treatment plans to your specific situation and budget.

Prevention includes regular vacuuming of closets and storage areas, storing seasonal clothing in sealed containers or garment bags, using cedar blocks or lavender sachets as natural deterrents, and keeping closets well-ventilated and dry. Regularly inspect wool, cashmere, and silk items, especially those in long-term storage. We also recommend professional cleaning of susceptible garments before storage and periodic follow-up inspections to catch any new activity early.
