How Antex handles clothes moths

Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.

Prevention tips

Launder or dry-clean before storing, vacuum closet floors, and rotate stored garments seasonally.
