Professional Moth Control Services in Sydney
Eliminate clothes moths and pantry moths that damage fabrics and contaminate food. Comprehensive treatments protecting your belongings from destructive moth larvae. Stop moth damage before it ruins valuables.
Stop Moths from Ruining Your Clothes & Food
Two moth types cause problems in Sydney homes: clothes moths, which damage wool, silk, and natural fiber fabrics, and pantry moths contaminate stored foods. Both breed rapidly, with larvae causing damage while feeding. Early intervention prevents extensive losses of valuable clothing or food stores.
Pest Labs provides targeted moth control, identifying moth species and implementing appropriate treatments. For clothes moths, we treat wardrobes, carpets, and storage areas. For pantry moths, we address kitchen cupboards and food storage. Our treatments kill adult moths, larvae, and eggs, breaking the infestation cycle.
How We Eliminate Moths (Adults, Larvae, and Eggs)
Clothes moth larvae feed on keratin in natural fibers, creating irregular holes in clothing, carpets, and upholstery. Pantry moth larvae contaminate flour, grains, nuts, dried fruit, and pet food with silk webbing and feces. Both moth types require professional treatment for complete elimination.
Our moth treatment includes thorough inspection, identifying moth species and infestation sources, removal of infested materials when necessary, application of appropriate insecticides to harbourage areas, pheromone trap placement for monitoring, and detailed prevention advice. Follow-up inspections confirm elimination.
Sydney’s comprehensive moth control solutions protect valuable clothing and food stores. Pest Labs understands that moth control requires identifying infestation sources, eliminating all life stages, and implementing prevention strategies to avoid reinfestation.
Our moth treatments address both the pests and the sanitation issues that allowed infestations to develop. We provide expert advice on proper storage, cleaning protocols, and monitoring methods, preventing future moth problems.
From wardrobe moths destroying expensive suits to pantry moths contaminating entire cupboards, Pest Labs provides moth solutions that work. Our treatments are safe for use around clothing and food when applied correctly by our trained technicians.

FAQs
Moth Control Services in Sydney
How much does moth treatment cost in Sydney?
Professional moth control costs $180-$350 for average homes, depending on moth type and infestation extent. Clothes moth treatment of wardrobes and storage areas $200-$300. Pantry moth treatment $180-$280. Severe infestations requiring extensive treatment or multiple visits may cost $400-$600. Includes inspection, treatment, and prevention advice.
How can I tell if I have clothes moths?
Signs include: irregular holes in wool, silk, or cashmere clothing, silken webs or cocoons in clothing folds, actual sightings of small beige moths near wardrobes, larvae (small white caterpillars) in clothing, and adult moths flying near closets and storage areas. Damage appears in dark, undisturbed areas first, like clothing backs and under collars.
What's the difference between clothes moths and pantry moths?
Clothes moths (webbing clothes moths and casemaking clothes moths) infest natural fiber fabrics and feed on keratin. Adults are beige and avoid light. Pantry moths (Indian meal moths) infest stored foods and feed on grains, flour, and nuts. Adults are gray-brown with copper wing tips and fly near lights. Treatments differ based on moth type.
How do I prevent moth infestations?
Clothes moth prevention: regularly clean woolens before storage, store clean clothes in sealed containers, vacuum closets and drawers regularly, use cedar blocks or lavender sachets as repellents, and inspect secondhand clothes before storage. Pantry moth prevention: store foods in sealed containers, check packaging for webbing, rotate stock regularly, clean cupboards thoroughly, and discard old dry goods.
Will professional treatment damage my clothes?
No. We use appropriate products and application methods safe for use around clothing and fabrics. Treatments are applied to surfaces, not directly to clothes. We recommend dry cleaning valuable items before treatment for proper preparation. Our methods protect clothing while eliminating moths that feed on them. Follow our preparation instructions for the best results.
