Moth-Proof Your Wardrobe: How to Keep Your Clothes Safe?

How to get rid of clothes moths? That is one query that comes to us at Ace Pest Control from residents all over Australia! Nothing can more ruining than reaching your closet for your favourite dress and finding tiny holes in it. Infested by moths! Where there’s one moth, there obviously are many. Unlike the pests that you see in your kitchen  or on your houseplants, moths thrive on garments and reside in dark, undisturbed spaces such as closets, basements and attics etc.

Moths hide in the corners and folds of garments, especially the clothes that contain microscopic cells or bits of skin or food.  Whether you are looking to keep moths out of your closet or have already noticed holes in your favourite garments, avail professional moth control service immediately!

How Moths Damage Clothing

Moths are destructive! Although moths do not actually eat your clothes, their babies do. Moths lay eggs on fabrics, caterpillars hatch from those eggs and then these caterpillars start munching on almost any kind of clothing.

Here’s another surprise for you! These caterpillars have refined taste; they will eat only animal-based fabrics like wool and cashmere! That is because, the caterpillars need animal proteins from the fabric to grow and develop. In addition to woollen or cashmere sweaters, fur coats, silk blouses, and anything with feathers, are a fair game and a standing invitation to these closet-squatting housemates.

Professional moth control service from Ace Pest Control is the sure-shot way to save your costly garments and furnishings from moths and other pests, insects and critters!

How to Stop Moths from Eating Your Clothes

Moth Removal and professional moth control service from Ace Pest Control render your premises free from moths and other pests. Follow-up and regular upkeep and maintenance is your part to do! Once your garments are washed and dried, placing them in airtight bags or plastic containers would be better than keeping them in closets or cupboards, where bugs or moths can get through. Storage baskets are meant for toys, pet supplies etc., not clothing!

Mothballs and flakes contain paradichlorobenzene (PDB) or naphthalene, which are lethal to moths, but only in concentrated doses. There’s no sure way of knowing if the mothball fumes are concentrated enough to be effective.  Moreover, these chemicals can also be harmful to you.  If you’re a die-hard mothball user, air out garments thoroughly before hanging them up in your closet at the start of a new season.
