Your Local Solution for Stubborn Moth Infestations

Discovering moths in your home is deeply unsettling. You might find fine webbing in your cereal or, worse, find small, irregular holes in your favorite wool sweater. In Burlington, these infestations are common and can be very difficult to control with DIY methods.

At The Eliminator Pest & Property Service, we take the stress out of moth removal. Since 2005, our certified technicians have used pet-safe and kid-safe methods to pinpoint the source of the infestation. We eliminate moths and their hidden eggs, protecting your food and fabrics.

Pantry Moths vs. Clothes Moths: Identifying Your Problem

The first step in controlling moths is knowing which type you have, as they infest entirely different areas of your home and require different solutions. A moth flying in your kitchen is a completely different problem from one found in a bedroom closet.

Our technicians are trained to identify the exact species, but here are the key differences to look for:

Pantry Moths (Indian Meal Moths):

Location: You will find these moths in kitchens, pantries, and anywhere you store dry food.
Damage: The larvae contaminate food. You will see fine, silk-like webbing inside packages of flour, cereal, grains, pasta, nuts, pet food, and spices.
Signs: Look for the webbing, clumping food, tiny cream-colored larvae in your food, or adult moths flying around the kitchen.

Clothes Moths (Webbing & Casemaking Moths):

Location: These moths prefer dark, undisturbed areas like closets, attics, and basements.
Damage: The larvae feed on natural fibers. They cause irregular holes in items made of wool, silk, fur, feathers, and felt.
Signs: Look for the holes in clothing, shed larval casings, or silken tubes and "cases" on fabrics. The adult moths are small and tend to avoid light.

If you see signs of either moth, it’s important to act quickly, as their eggs are often hidden in places you can't see or reach.

Our Moth Control Process

A moth infestation can feel overwhelming because the larvae and eggs are so difficult to find. At The Eliminator Pest & Property Service, our approach is built on 15+ years of experience, using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to break the moth life cycle and give you back your home.

We bring our local expertise and certified, background-checked team to solve your moth problem with care.

Step 1: Identify the Species: Our first step is a thorough inspection to determine if you have pantry moths, clothes moths, or both. This allows us to target our treatment effectively.
Step 2: Locate the Source: We meticulously inspect pantries, closets, storage chests, rugs, and furniture to find all infested materials and larval hiding spots.
Step 3: A Customized, Safe Plan: We create a plan using pet-safe and kid-safe treatments. For pantry moths, this involves sanitation and product removal. For clothes moths, it may involve targeted treatments of cracks and crevices where they hide.
Step 4: Prevention & Monitoring: We provide honest advice on long-term prevention. This includes proper food storage in airtight containers and safe storage for natural fiber clothing to ensure the moths don't return.

We are a locally owned company, not a faceless chain. We offer same-day service because we know you want this problem handled immediately.

Why You Need Professional Moth Control

Moth infestations are notoriously difficult to eliminate on your own. The adult moths you see are not the primary problem; it’s the hidden larvae and eggs. Simply throwing away one infested item or setting a trap rarely solves the infestation for good.

The larvae of pantry moths and clothes moths are tiny and can hide in the smallest cracks, seams, and packaging. They can easily spread from one item to another, meaning the problem likely "keeps coming back" because the source was never fully eliminated.

A professional service is essential for breaking the moth life cycle. Experts have the training to find all hidden sources and use materials that are effective against eggs and larvae, ensuring the infestation is stopped completely and protecting your property.
