Moth Control

​

Moth treatments are pest-specific and targeted. Most “moth problems” inside homes and Businesses are caused by clothes moths (that damage natural fibres) or pantry moths (that infest stored foods). Because moths lay eggs in hidden areas and the larvae do the damage, treatment focuses on active areas and likely harbourage points to help reduce activity and prevent ongoing problems.

​​​

​

Common Moth Activity Areas

​​

• Wardrobes, drawers, and linen cupboards

• Carpets, rugs, and under furniture (especially wool or natural fibres)

• Stored clothing, blankets, and soft furnishings

• Skirting edges and cracks/crevices around storage areas

• Kitchens and pantries (inside cupboards and around stored dry foods)

• Garages and storage rooms with boxed fabrics or stored goods

​

Common Moths

​

• Clothes moths (wardrobe moths)

• Pantry moths (Indian meal moth)

​

Important Safety Note

In most moth treatments involving targeted crack-and-crevice applications, people and pets may remain on the property. If an internal spray treatment is required, all occupants and pets must leave the property and remain out until treated surfaces are fully dry, usually 2–4 hours. Food items, utensils, and exposed surfaces should be covered or removed prior to treatment.

​​

Warranty

Moth treatments are intended to reduce activity in treated areas only. No standard warranty applies, as reinfestation may occur from untreated materials, stored goods, roof voids, wardrobes, carpets or surrounding sources. Full terms apply.

Treatment Options & Pricing​

​

Pricing by property size:​

​

• Small homes (1–2 bedrooms): from $240

• Medium homes (3 bedrooms): from $280

• Large homes (4+ bedrooms or large blocks): from $380

​​​​​

Important Pricing Note
All prices listed are starting prices only and may vary depending on moth type, infestation severity, areas affected, property size, access conditions, and treatment requirements. Final pricing will always be discussed and confirmed before treatment.

​​

Follow-up treatments may be recommended depending on moth type, infestation severity, and how quickly activity reduces after the initial service. If required, we’ll discuss this with you and confirm pricing before booking.

​

Follow-up pricing:

​

• Small homes: from $140

• Medium homes: from $180

• Large homes: from $240

​

Optional Quarterly Maintenance

(Available after the first service and ideal for properties with recurring moth activity or higher risk of reinfestation.)

​

Maintenance includes inspection, preventative checks, and targeted treatment of any active or high-risk areas to help reduce the chance of reinfestation.

​

• Small homes: from $200

• Medium homes: from $260

• Large homes: from $340

 

Seasonal changes can affect moth activity, with infestations often becoming more noticeable during warmer months. Quarterly maintenance helps manage ongoing risk through regular inspection and targeted treatment of active or high-risk areas.

​

Optional Add-On Treatments

(Pricing may vary depending on access and property conditions.)​

​

• Roof void dusting: from $80

• Sub-floor dusting: from $100​

​

What Is Dusting?

​

Dusting is a targeted pest control method where a fine, professional-grade insecticidal dust is applied into cracks, crevices, wall voids, roof voids, and sub-floor areas where moth larvae may harbour (particularly in concealed voids or storage areas). The dust remains active for an extended period and helps control hidden activity in areas that sprays may not reach. Dusting is applied only in concealed areas and is safe when used correctly by a licensed technician.

 

Preparation Required (Before Treatment)

​To ensure a safe and effective service, please complete the following before our technician arrives:

 

• Remove or cover food, utensils, and pet bowls

• For pantry moths: seal or dispose of infested dry foods where possible and clear access to pantry shelves

• For clothes moths: clear access to wardrobes, cupboards, and storage areas where activity has been seen

• Move stored items slightly away from walls where possible to allow access to skirting and corners

• Reduce clutter around affected areas to allow treatment

• Keep pets away from treatment areas if required

• Avoid using household sprays in affected areas for 24 hours before treatment where possible

• Vacuum affected carpets/rugs and cupboard edges where possible (dispose of vacuum contents)

 

Preparation Required (After Treatment)

​To ensure the treatment works effectively and keeps everyone safe:

​

• Keep people and pets away from treated areas until fully dry (usually 2–4 hours if spraying is carried out)

• Do not wipe or clean treated surfaces for at least 48 hours

• Avoid mopping floors for 48 hours unless advised

• Some moth activity may continue briefly before reducing

• Contact us if moth activity persists beyond the recommended timeframe
