Expert Moth Control & Elimination in Des Moines, WA

Most Des Moines, WA 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 Des Moines, WA 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.

  • Thorough inspection to locate all infestation sites and identify moth species
  • Pheromone trapping to monitor adult moth activity and track population

Protecting Your Des Moines, WA Home's Valuables

Clothes moths target natural fibers — wool, cashmere, silk, leather, and cotton — causing irreversible damage to expensive garments, antique rugs, and upholstered furniture.

We also provide guidance on proper storage methods that physically protect your most valuable items from future moth damage.

Types of Moths Found in Des Moines, WA Homes

Different moth species attack different materials and require different treatments. Accurate identification is essential for effective moth control in Des Moines, WA.

🧥

Webbing Clothes Moth

The most common fabric pest in Des Moines, WA. Larvae create silken tubes or webbing on natural fiber clothing, carpets, and upholstery. Prefers dark, undisturbed areas like the back of closets, stored clothing, and underneath heavy furniture. Adults are tiny golden-buff moths that run rather than fly when disturbed.

🌾

Indian Meal Moth (Pantry Moth)

The most common pantry pest in Des Moines, WA homes. Larvae infest grains, flour, cereals, dried fruit, nuts, pet food, and spices. Recognizable by their two-toned wings — copper at the tip, gray at the base. Webbing and silken tunnels inside food packages are a key identification sign.

🏠

Case-Bearing Clothes Moth

Similar to the webbing clothes moth but larvae construct a tubular portable case from fibers and their own silk as they feed. Found in the same locations as webbing clothes moths but can more easily migrate between rooms in your Des Moines, WA home while remaining concealed inside their case.

🌿

Tapestry Moth

Primarily targets tapestries, antique rugs, stuffed animal specimens, and decorative items made from natural fibers or animal products. Less common than clothes moths but can cause irreplaceable damage to antiques and heirlooms in Des Moines, WA homes if left untreated.

🪟

Mediterranean Flour Moth

Common in kitchens and food storage areas across Des Moines, WA. This species infests flour, grains, baking mixes, and animal feed. Larvae create dense webbing that clumps food products together and can even clog machinery in larger storage areas. Adults are pale gray with wavy dark markings and are often seen flying near pantry shelves.

🐾

Carpet Moth

Targets wool carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture in Des Moines, WA homes. Larvae feed on natural fibers, especially in low traffic areas under sofas, beds, and along baseboards. Damage appears as irregular bald patches in carpets or thinning fabric on furniture.
