Final cost depends on severity, property size, and treatment method.
Clarington is Durham Region's easternmost municipality, encompassing the communities of Bowmanville, Newcastle, Courtice, Orono, and Hampton. The municipality's semi-rural character, with extensive farmland, conservation areas, and the Bowmanville Creek and Soper Creek ravine systems, means wildlife encounters are a regular part of life for residents. Older village homes in Bowmanville and Newcastle face chronic mouse entry through century-old foundations and deteriorating mortar, while Courtice's rapidly growing subdivisions deal with construction-gap rodent issues on former farmland. The Bowmanville Marsh conservation area supports abundant wildlife that interfaces with residential properties. PestRecord connects Clarington residents with licensed pest control professionals familiar with the area.
Our Moth Control Process in Clarington
Inspection
The technician identifies the moth species from adult moth activity, larval evidence, and damage patterns. Clothes moth larvae hide inside folded garments and in closet corners. Pantry moth larvae are found in stored food packaging. Species identification determines the treatment approach.
Treatment
For clothes moths: the closet, storage areas, and surrounding rooms are treated with residual insecticide. Infested items are identified and disposed of or heat-treated. For pantry moths: infested food is discarded, pantry shelves are treated, and pheromone traps are placed to catch adult males.
Prevention
For clothes moths: natural fibre garments stored in sealed bags, cedar-lined closets supplemented with moth traps. For pantry moths: all dried goods stored in sealed glass or heavy plastic containers. Pheromone traps remain in place to detect residual activity.

Small holes chewed through wool sweaters, coats, or stored blankets that were in good condition last season
-
Pantry moth cocoons attached to pantry shelves, inside food containers, or on walls near food storage
-
Indian meal moth adults near kitchen ceilings and light fixtures — attracted to light

Why Hire a Professional in Clarington
-
Clothes moth larvae hide inside folded garments and in closet corners where surface sprays cannot reach. Professional void treatment reaches larvae that homeowners miss.
-
Pantry moth infestations often have multiple breeding sites simultaneously. A professional inspection finds all of them, whereas homeowners typically find and discard only the obvious sources.
-
Over-the-counter moth traps catch adult male moths but do not kill larvae or eggs. They reduce the population but do not eliminate it. Professional treatment targets all life stages.
-
Clothes moth infestations often start from a single infested garment. Early professional treatment prevents the moths from establishing a breeding population in your closet.
-
Pantry moths lay eggs in sealed cardboard and plastic bags that homeowners think are safe. Professional treatment includes guidance on proper food storage that prevents reinfestation.
