Clothes Moth Control in Merrick, Long Island

Signs of clothes moth infestation include small irregular holes in wool clothing or upholstery, silken tubes or cases on fabric surfaces, adult moths flying in closets or bedrooms (especially at dusk), and larvae or cocoons in corners of closets. You may also notice damaged rugs, blankets, or other natural fiber items. If you spot any of these signs in your Merrick home, contact us immediately for an inspection.

The cost ranges from $550 to $5,000 depending on the severity of the infestation, the size of your home, the number of affected areas requiring treatment, and whether you need single or multiple treatments. Larger Merrick properties with extensive closet space or finished basements may require more comprehensive treatment. We provide free inspections and detailed quotes before beginning any work.

Initial treatment typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your home's size and the extent of the infestation. Most treatments allow you to return to using your closets within 4-6 hours after application once surfaces have dried. We may recommend follow-up treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart to target newly hatched larvae and ensure complete elimination of the infestation.

Yes, clothes moths can damage any items containing natural animal fibers including wool carpets, silk drapes, upholstered furniture, fur coats, felt, leather, and even taxidermy. They're particularly attracted to soiled fabrics with food stains, perspiration, or body oils. Many Merrick homeowners discover damage to valuable rugs, antique furniture, and stored seasonal clothing that requires professional intervention to prevent further loss.
