Why moths are a problem

Damage shows up as holes in wool and webbing in food long before adults are noticed.

How Antex handles 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

Store wool clean and sealed, keep pantries decanted into containers, and use pheromone monitors.
