Clothes moths are a type of fabric pest which can cause significant damage to ones property. Cloth moths are scavengers and will typically feed on fungi and on woolen fabrics. The three species that attack clothes and woolens are of considerable economic importance. Because these insects often live in cracks and void areas, they can be very difficult to treat without a professional.  Contact Pest-Gone, LLC a NJ pest control company with over two decades of experience with this type of treatment.
