Clothes Moth Control in Hempstead, Long Island

Signs of clothes moth infestation include small irregular holes in wool clothing, carpets, or upholstery, silken tubes or cases on fabric surfaces, adult moths flying around closets or storage areas, and larvae or cocoons in the folds of stored garments. You may also notice a musty odor in affected areas. If you spot any of these signs in your Hempstead property, contact us immediately for an inspection.

Our comprehensive clothes moth control includes a detailed inspection to identify infestation sources and extent, treatment of affected areas using safe and effective methods such as targeted insecticides and pheromone traps, recommendations for cleaning and storing textiles properly, and follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination. We also provide prevention advice to protect your garments long-term.

The cost varies based on the severity of the infestation, the size of your property, the number of affected areas requiring treatment, and whether multiple follow-up visits are needed. A small closet infestation in an apartment may cost around $550, while extensive infestations throughout a large Hempstead home with multiple rooms, storage areas, and valuable textiles requiring intensive treatment can reach $5,000. We provide free estimates after inspection.

Prevention includes regularly cleaning and vacuuming closets and storage areas, washing or dry-cleaning woolens before storage, using airtight containers or garment bags for seasonal clothing, maintaining low humidity levels, periodically inspecting stored items, and avoiding purchasing second-hand clothing or furniture without careful inspection. Our technicians will provide specific prevention strategies based on your Hempstead property's unique conditions.
