Clothes Moth Control in Melrose, Bronx

Signs of clothes moth infestation include small holes in wool clothing, carpets, or upholstery, silky tubes or cases on fabric surfaces, and seeing small beige or gold-colored moths flying around closets or storage areas. You may also notice larvae (small caterpillars) on affected fabrics or webbing in corners of closets.

The cost ranges from $550 to $5,000 depending on the severity of the infestation, the size of your home or apartment, the number of rooms affected, and the treatment method required. Larger infestations requiring multiple treatments or whole-home fumigation will be at the higher end, while smaller, localized problems cost less.

Initial treatment typically shows results within 24-48 hours, with most adult moths and larvae eliminated quickly. However, complete eradication usually requires follow-up treatments over 4-8 weeks to address eggs and newly hatched larvae. Our technicians will create a customized treatment schedule based on your specific infestation.
