Clothing Moth Control in New Zealand
Clothing moths may be small, but they can cause big problems in Kiwi homes. These pests feed on natural fibres such as wool, silk, fur and feathers, leaving holes in clothing, carpets and stored fabrics. You might notice silky webbing, irregular fabric damage, or tiny golden moths fluttering near wardrobes and cupboards. Because larvae do most of the damage, infestations often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Our professional moth control treatments in Cambridge, Hamilton and across the Waikato target both adults and larvae, helping protect your clothing, carpets and treasured items from further damage.
How to Avoid Clothing Moth Infestations
Keep wardrobes and storage areas clean and well-ventilated
Wash or dry-clean clothing before storing, especially wool or silk
Store garments in sealed containers or garment bags
Vacuum carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture regularly
Use cedar blocks or natural moth deterrents in cupboards
Book a professional clothing moth control treatment if you spot signs of moths
Are clothing moths harmful to people or pets?

To get rid of clothing moths permanently, you need a combination of thorough cleaning, proper storage of clothing, and professional clothing moth control treatments that target both moths and larvae.
