Prevention and Control Measures:

1. Storage in tight containers
   Stored clothing should be kept in tightly closed containers after cleaning them.
2. Removal of animal nests.
   Fabric-damaging pests such as clothes moths sometimes move into homes from the abandoned nests of birds, rodents, bats, bees, and wasps. These sources should be located and removed. Rats and mice should be eliminated. The preferred manner for treating rodents is by trapping. If poisoned rodents die in inaccessible places, their carcasses can become food sources for fabric pests and flies.
3. Vacuuming and Cleaning
   
   Look for places that debris collects ; under furniture that is rarely moved, along baseboards, in cracks between floorboards, and wherever debris collects. Also clean in closets where fabric items, furs, and feather-filled materials are stored, and inside and behind heaters, vents, and ducts.
4. Cleaning fabrics.
   Clothes moths are attracted to the food, beverage, and sweat stains in woolens and other materials, not to the wool itself. It is important that garments are cleanedthoroughly before being stored.

• A complete inspection of the closets and other areas is the first order of business. The soiled garments, particularly woolens need to be dry cleaned or laundered.
• After the inspection, critical areas should receive the special attention. The insecticides will kill exposed adults and larvae. In carpets, it would be around the baseboards. In furniture it would be around the buttons, zippers and seams.
• After vacuuming cracks and crevices in the closets , an aerosol with a crack and crevice tip such as

  PERMA DUST OR INTRUDER can be sprayed in the cracks and crevices

• A residual insecticide such as   DEMAND SC or PERMA DUST would be a good choice for spot treatments.
• Infested rugs, carpets, and furniture should be cleaned thoroughly and protected with a residual insecticide application. A recommended residual insecticide would be DEMAND CS
  Always keep pets and children off the wet surface until it dries.
