Moth Control Service Melbourne
Moths destroying your clothes, carpets or pantry? Martin Pest Control eliminates them completely with APVMA-certified treatments that are child and pet safe. While adult moths are visible, it is the invisible larvae silently feeding on your woollens and silks that cause the real damage. Our licensed technicians identify the species and protect your belongings before the infestation spreads. Same-day inspection available today.

Important: Do not throw out or disturb infested clothing, carpets or food items before a professional inspection — larvae and eggs can spread to other areas of your home. Seal affected items in bags, keep them in place and call us. Our technician will advise on exactly what to treat, wash, freeze or discard safely.

What Melbourne Residents Are Saying
Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.
Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly before starting. Very professional.
My daughter is severely allergic to bee stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.
A Single Female Clothes Moth Can Lay Up to 200 Eggs in Three Weeks
Moth larvae are the true problem — not the adults. They are tiny, camouflaged by whatever they are eating, and almost impossible to spot until significant damage is done. By the time you notice holes in a jumper or webbing in the pantry, the infestation is well established. Early treatment saves your belongings.
Complete Pest Control for Melbourne
Complete treatment of clothes moth, carpet moth and pantry moth infestations — targeting larvae, eggs and adults across wardrobes, carpets, skirting boards, pantry cupboards and storage areas. Species-identified, APVMA-approved treatments every time.
How We Treat Moths — Step by Step
A thorough, species-specific approach that eliminates larvae, eggs and adults — and gives you clear, practical advice on protecting your belongings long term.
Contact us any time — 24/7. Describe what you’ve noticed — holes in clothing, webbing in the pantry, or moths around lights. We provide immediate steps to contain the infestation until we arrive.
Our certified technician arrives same-day. We identify the moth species, locate all breeding sites, and assess damage to clothing, carpets, and food stores before recommending treatment.
We apply APVMA-approved insecticide to wardrobe interiors, carpet edges, and pantry surfaces. We never spray directly on clothing or food. Affected items are safely managed or disposed of.
We provide a written service report and detailed aftercare instructions — what to wash at high heat, what to freeze, or dry-clean — to ensure moths do not return to your property.
Moth Larvae Keep Feeding Until Every Natural Fibre Is Gone
Clothes moths are most active in Melbourne between December and April — the warmer months when larvae develop fastest. A wardrobe left unchecked through summer can suffer irreversible damage to wool, silk, cashmere and leather. The earlier you call, the more we can save.
How to Prevent Moth Infestations
Shaking out infested clothing or throwing items in the bin without sealing them can spread larvae and eggs to other areas. Call us before moving or washing items to ensure the infestation is contained.

Licensed technician conducting a professional moth treatment and inspection
Moths target wool, silk, cashmere, and leather. Before storing seasonal clothing, dry-clean or wash at high heat to destroy eggs. Use sealed, airtight vacuum bags rather than open boxes or standard wardrobes.
Pantry moths infest flour, grains, and nuts. Store all dry goods in airtight glass or plastic containers—larvae can chew through cardboard. Regularly check for webbing or clumping in opened packets.
Clothes moths favour dark, undisturbed areas. Vacuum wardrobe floors and carpet edges frequently. Air out rarely-used garments in sunlight, as moths avoid light and movement.
A single hole in a jumper or a moth flying near a light are early warnings. Call us immediately—the larvae causing the damage are already there, and they will not stop until the full lifecycle is treated.
