Clothes moths (webbing clothes moths and case-bearing clothes moths) are small, pale golden insects rarely seen in the open — their larvae do the damage, feeding on keratin protein found in animal-based fibers. Wool suits, cashmere sweaters, silk scarves, feather pillows, and even taxidermy are all at risk. Crown Point's older homes with cedar closets, attic storage, and vintage furniture provide ideal conditions for these pests.
The adult moth doesn't damage fabric — they lay eggs, and when the larvae hatch, they immediately begin feeding. The tell-tale signs are irregular holes in fabric, silken tubes on garments, and dusty webbing at the back of closets or drawers. Our treatment combines physical removal of infested material, pheromone trap monitoring, residual insecticide in closet voids, and recommendations for protective storage.
'My vintage wool coats stored in the attic were ruined by moths. They identified the extent of the infestation, treated the entire closet system, and showed me exactly how to store the remaining pieces safely.'
'Found webbing in my grandmother's wool rug. The technician knew immediately it was clothes moths and treated under all the furniture. The traps showed zero activity after three weeks.'
'Holes appearing in my son's school sweaters. Turns out it was in the closet — they treated it and gave us cedar blocks and garment bags. No more damage.'
