Moth Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about moth control in New York City, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does moth control cost?
Moth treatment in NYC costs $150-$350 per treatment. Closet-focused clothes moth treatment runs $200-$350. Pantry moth treatment costs $150-$250 including inspection and source elimination.
How do I know if I have clothes moths or pantry moths?
Clothes moths are small, golden-tan, and avoid light. You'll find damage to wool, silk, and natural fiber clothing. Pantry moths are larger with brown/copper-banded wings and are found near stored food. Both leave behind larvae and webbing.
Can moths damage expensive clothing?
Yes. Clothes moth larvae feed on wool, cashmere, silk, fur, and other natural fibers. They can cause thousands of dollars in damage to a wardrobe. Professional treatment and preventive measures protect your investment.
How do pantry moths get into sealed food?
Pantry moths often enter homes already inside purchased food products. They can also chew through thin plastic and cardboard packaging. A thorough inspection of all stored food is the first step in elimination.
How long does moth treatment take to work?
Moth treatment reduces adult populations immediately. However, eggs and larvae take 2-4 weeks to fully cycle. We typically recommend a follow-up treatment at 3-4 weeks to ensure complete elimination.
