Moths in your home can feel devastating. From discovering holes in your favorite sweater or irreplaceable family heirlooms to finding larvae crawling through your pantry staples, these destructive pests can ruin valuable belongings and contaminate your food. Whether you're dealing with clothes moths silently destroying wool, silk, and cashmere, or pantry moths infesting your stored goods, these unwelcome visitors can cause heartbreak and frustration. At CrittereX, we believe there's a better way to handle moth problems—one that's safe, eco-friendly, and effective. As a family-owned, woman-led business with over five years of experience, we're committed to protecting your treasured belongings while prioritizing the health of your family and the environment.
Why Choose Safe, Eco-Friendly Moth Removal?
Traditional pest control often relies on harsh mothballs with toxic naphthalene or chemical fumigants that can affect your family's health. At CrittereX, we take a different approach. Our safe moth removal process uses effective, non-toxic methods that eliminate infestations at every life stage while keeping your household safe. Here's why our method stands out:
- Eco-Friendly Solutions:
- Complete Lifecycle Treatment:
- Long-Term Prevention:
We avoid toxic mothballs and harmful fumigants, using safe, effective alternatives that protect your family, pets, and belongings.
Moths require targeting at every stage—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. We use comprehensive methods to break the reproductive cycle and prevent re-infestation.
We don't just eliminate moths; we provide storage solutions, cleaning protocols, and environmental controls to protect your clothing and food from future damage.
As one satisfied homeowner shared, "I was devastated when I found holes in my grandmother's vintage wool coat. CrittereX not only eliminated the moth problem but taught me how to properly store my precious textiles. They were so understanding and knowledgeable—I wish I'd called them sooner!" This commitment to care and precision defines the CrittereX difference.
Our Proven Process for Moth-Free Homes
At CrittereX, we've honed a comprehensive, safe approach to moth removal. Here's how we restore your peace of mind:
- Expert Identification & Inspection
- Targeted Multi-Stage Treatment
- Thorough Cleaning & Sanitation
- Prevention & Storage Solutions
Every moth infestation is unique. Our team starts with proper identification of the moth species—clothes moths (webbing or casemaking) or pantry moths (Indian meal moths or others). We conduct a thorough inspection of closets, storage areas, upholstered furniture, carpets, pantries, and anywhere moths might hide or lay eggs. We examine natural fiber clothing, wool rugs, stored grains, and dried foods. We leave no detail unchecked.
Using safe, non-toxic methods, we eliminate moths at every life stage. Our treatment targets adult moths, destroys eggs, and removes larvae—the stage that causes actual damage. For clothes moths, we treat affected textiles, storage areas, and hidden spaces. For pantry moths, we address food storage areas, contaminated goods, and breeding sites. We use precision applications of eco-friendly products rather than harmful chemical treatments.
Moth infestations leave behind eggs, larvae, webbing, and frass (droppings). We provide guidance on proper cleaning of affected areas, including vacuuming, laundering or dry-cleaning textiles, and disposing of contaminated food. For valuable or delicate items, we recommend professional cleaning services. Our thorough approach ensures no life stages remain to restart the infestation.
Eliminating moths is only the beginning. We provide comprehensive prevention strategies including proper storage techniques (sealed containers, cedar products, temperature control), regular cleaning schedules, and environmental management. For clothes moths, we recommend cleaning items before storage and using breathable garment bags. For pantry moths, we suggest airtight food storage and regular inspection. Our goal is to protect your valuables and food—naturally and safely.
The CrittereX Difference
What sets CrittereX apart? It's our dedication to treating your home and belongings like our own.

Our woman-led team brings expertise, empathy, and a passion for sustainable solutions to every job. We're not just pest control experts—we're your partners in protecting what matters most to you.
Our clients agree: "CrittereX was a lifesaver. We had pantry moths that just kept coming back no matter what we tried. Their team figured out where they were breeding, treated the problem thoroughly, and showed us exactly how to store food properly. Six months later and still no moths!" says one happy customer. With countless families trusting us to solve their moth problems, we're proud to be a leader in safe, effective pest control.
Why Act Now?
Moths aren't just a nuisance—they cause costly, irreversible damage. Clothes moth larvae can destroy expensive wool coats, silk garments, cashmere sweaters, vintage textiles, and cherished family heirlooms. A single female moth can lay 40-50 eggs, and larvae can feed for weeks or months before you notice the damage. Pantry moths contaminate flour, grains, cereals, nuts, dried fruits, and pet food—forcing you to discard entire pantries. The emotional and financial cost of moth damage can be significant. Delaying action allows populations to multiply and damage to worsen. CrittereX's proactive approach stops infestations before they destroy irreplaceable items, saving you heartache and money.
