Expert Moth Control & Elimination in Arcata, CA
Most Arcata, CA homeowners discover a moth infestation only after finding holes in wool sweaters, damaged carpets, or contaminated pantry food. By this point the infestation is typically well established, as moths prefer to lay their eggs in dark, undisturbed areas and adult moths avoid light entirely. All Points Pest Control's moth control specialists are trained to find hidden infestations and eliminate them completely.
The key to effective moth control in Arcata, CA is accurate species identification. Clothes moths and pantry (Indian meal) moths require entirely different treatment approaches. Treating for the wrong species will have no effect on the actual infestation. Our technicians correctly identify the species, locate all harborage and breeding areas, and design a targeted treatment plan that addresses both the active infestation and the conditions that allowed it to develop.
