Clothes Moth Control Services | My Pest Control Pty Ltd
Melbourne’s Trusted Experts in Targeted Ant Removal & Prevention
At My Pest Control Pty Ltd, we specialise in the safe and thorough elimination of clothes moths, protecting Melbourne homes, fashion retailers, textile warehouses, and heritage spaces from costly damage. These destructive pests are often unnoticed until fabric damage becomes visible — making early intervention critical.
Using advanced detection tools, low-toxicity solutions, and industry-leading prevention methods, we tailor every treatment to your environment — whether it’s your luxury wardrobe, commercial boutique, or vintage textile storage.
What Are Clothes Moths?
Clothes moths are small, light-coloured moths whose larvae feed on organic fibres. It’s the larvae, not the adult moths, that cause damage by consuming keratin found in wool, silk, fur, cashmere, and other natural materials.
Common Clothes Moth Species in Melbourne:
● Webbing Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella): Cream-coloured with golden wings; larvae spin webbing across fabric
● Case-Bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella): Larvae build a portable silk case and
drag it while feeding
Our Melbourne-Based Moth Removal Process
We don’t just spray and leave — we identify, target, and disrupt colonies at the source using scientific methods and the latest pest management technologies.
● Examine damage sites, seams, wardrobes, and soft storage containers
● Use of pheromone lures and UV light to detect adult moths and eggs
● Species confirmation to tailor treatment to feeding behaviour
● Surface-safe insecticide sprays for rugs, carpets, curtains, and furnishings
● Insecticidal dusts for drawers, cracks, roof cavities, and textile corners
● ULV fogging or misting for heavy or widespread infestations
● Freezing or heat treatments for delicate vintage textiles (optional advice or referral)
● Remove contaminated clothing and vacuum sealed storage
● HEPA vacuuming and textile-safe cleaning
● Application of residual protection sprays to storage zones
● Moth deterrent sachets or traps for long-term monitoring
Why Clothes Moths Are a Major Concern
● 👚 Destructive Feeding: Irregular holes in clothing, curtains, rugs, and soft furnishings
● 🧵 Hidden Infestations: Eggs and larvae thrive in dark, undisturbed spaces
● 🏛 Heritage Risk: Pose a major threat to vintage fabrics, museums, and storage
archives
● 👃 Musty Odours: Infestations can produce a dusty, stale smell in wardrobes or fabric
storage

Clothes Moth FAQs
Small holes in clothing, silky webbing on garments, and moths fluttering in dark wardrobes are key signs.
Moths prefer warm, humid environments and are most active in spring and summer, but indoor infestations can occur year-round.
Washing at high temperatures may kill eggs and larvae, but full treatment is needed for hidden zones.
While they may deter moths slightly, they do not eliminate infestations. Professional treatment is needed to fully remove larvae and eggs.
Store clothes in sealed containers, vacuum regularly, and rotate unused clothing. Use traps or sachets in wardrobes for early detection.
