Moth Control Top Notch Pest Control Corp Is Here For You

Moth Control in Brooklyn

Family-Owned, Brooklyn-Based Moth Control Since 1989

Moths cause real damage before most people realize they have a problem. By the time you spot holes in a cashmere sweater or webbing in a bag of flour, an infestation is already established across multiple life stages. Top Notch Pest Control Corp is a family- and veteran-owned company based right here in Brooklyn, and our licensed, insured team has been resolving moth infestations across the borough for over 35 years. We treat both clothing moths and pantry moths with customized, eco-friendly plans built around your specific property and pest.

Brooklyn’s dense apartment and brownstone housing stock makes moths a particularly stubborn warm-weather problem. Infestations move between units through shared wall cavities, gaps around pipes, and hallway storage, which means a moth problem in your apartment may not have started there. Warm, humid summer conditions accelerate larval development, making August one of the highest-activity months of the year.

Clothing Moths vs. Pantry Moths: Two Distinct Problems

Most calls we receive fall into one of two categories. Knowing which moth type you’re dealing with shapes the entire treatment approach.

Clothing Moths
Webbing clothes moths and casemaking clothes moths feed on natural fibers including wool, cashmere, silk, and fur. They prefer dark, undisturbed storage areas like closets and drawers, which is why damage often accumulates undetected for months. It’s the larvae, not the adult moths, that destroy fabric. Eliminating the adults you can see without treating larvae and eggs doesn’t resolve the infestation.

Pantry Moths (Indian Meal Moths)
Indian meal moths infest stored dry goods: grains, cereals, flour, nuts, and pet food. They’re identifiable by their two-toned wings, grayish-white near the base and reddish-brown on the outer portion. As with clothing moths, it’s the larvae doing the damage. They contaminate food with webbing and waste long before adults are visible flying near the kitchen.

Both types can enter a Brooklyn apartment through open windows, infested packaged goods brought in from outside, or neighboring units in multi-family buildings.

Signs of a Moth Infestation in Your Brooklyn Apartment

Both moth types leave behind recognizable evidence, but you have to know where to look. Clothing moths avoid light and stay hidden, so damage builds up in infrequently accessed spaces. Pantry moths tend to become more visible once the population grows. In Brooklyn’s multi-family buildings, an infestation can also originate in a neighboring unit and reach yours through gaps around pipes or shared wall cavities. If you’re seeing signs without an obvious source, mention that when you call.

Clothing moth signs:

Irregular holes in wool, cashmere, or silk garments
Silky webbing or small case-like cocoons in closet corners, drawers, or under furniture
Shed larval casings along baseboards or at the edges of rugs

Pantry moth signs:

Adult moths flying near kitchen or dry-goods storage areas
Webbing inside cereal boxes, flour bags, rice, or pet food
Small larvae or sticky clumps found in dry goods

How We Treat Moth Infestations

Effective moth control targets all life stages: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Treating only what’s visible leaves the next generation untouched. Every job starts with an inspection. We identify the moth type, locate active areas, and determine how far the infestation has spread before developing a treatment plan. Our technicians are trained in a variety of methods, including eco-friendly options, and the plan we build is specific to your property and situation.

Clothing Moth Treatment
We inspect closets, drawers, and textile storage areas, apply residual treatment to affected surfaces, and provide guidance on garment preparation and storage practices that reduce reinfestation risk.

Pantry Moth Treatment
We help identify and remove infested food sources, treat storage areas, and advise on proper dry-goods storage. Pheromone monitoring traps can be used to assess infestation severity and indicate whether treatment has been effective over time.

After treatment, we provide honest prevention recommendations grounded in over 35 years of Brooklyn pest management experience. Our goal is to address the infestation and reduce the conditions that allow it to return.

Moth Prevention Tips for Brooklyn Residents

After professional treatment, your storage and cleaning habits determine how quickly a new infestation can take hold. These practices are straightforward and genuinely effective.

For clothing moths:

Store woolens, cashmere, and natural fiber clothing in sealed containers or garment bags rather than hanging in open closets
Launder or dry-clean natural fiber garments before long-term storage, since moth larvae are more attracted to soiled fabrics
Vacuum closet floors, baseboards, and carpet edges regularly, and inspect stored items periodically for early signs of damage or webbing
Cedar can deter early-stage activity but won’t eliminate an established infestation

For pantry moths:

Transfer flour, grains, cereals, and pet food into airtight, hard-sided containers
Inspect newly purchased packaged goods before storing them, since infested products brought home from outside are a common entry point
Clear out and clean food storage areas regularly so early signs of webbing or larvae are caught quickly
