"Chad was very kind, respectful and knowledgeable about his job. He gave me a lot of insight on how to prevent and maintaining rodent control."
Moth Control in Dallas, TX
Pantry moths from a packet at the back of a cupboard, clothes moths from a closet nobody opens. Older Dallas homes give both plenty of undisturbed space, and the two need different answers.

Overview What is Forterra's moth control service?
Forterra Moth Control in Dallas identifies which moth is present before treating. Pantry moths mean finding the infested package; clothes moths mean going through storage and wool. Older kitchens also hide spilled product behind cabinet runs, which keeps a population going after the obvious source is gone.

On the ground in Dallas
Old closets and older pantries.
Moth calls to the Dallas office split between two problems that get confused constantly. Clothes moths in older homes with wool, long-stored clothing and closets that are rarely disturbed, and pantry moths in kitchens where something has been at the back of a cupboard too long. The treatments are different and so are the places to look, so identification is the first thing we do.
Clothes moths mean going through storage and dealing with what is infested rather than treating a room. Pantry moths mean finding the source package. In both cases there is material that has to be thrown out, and we will tell you that rather than implying a treatment alone will handle it. Perimeter work does not address either, because both arrive inside the house.

"Chad as usual did a thorough job and addressed any concerns we had. Set different mouse traps as the others were catching our 2 legged employees."
Why we trace before we treat
Find the infested item, and the moths are finished.
The two moths lead to two different rooms, so the identification is the work. Treating a kitchen for a closet problem, or the reverse, is how people pay for three visits and change nothing.
Stage 01
01
Identify moth
Closet moth or pantry moth decides the entire hunt.
Closet moths and pantry moths never share a source. The species tells us which hunt we are on, through the wardrobe and rugs, or package by package through the kitchen.
Stage 02
02
Remove sources
Every source found and out of the house, cleaned or discarded.
In the pantry, every open grain product gets inspected, infested ones discarded, survivors quarantined in glass or hard plastic. In the closet, infested garments get cleaned or discarded, rugs checked along their hidden edges. Miss one source and the cycle restarts; this step is the treatment.
Stage 03
03
Treat crevices
Crevice treatment plus monitors that prove the cycle broke.
Crack-and-crevice treatment where the larvae pupate, cabinet corners and hinges in kitchens, closet edges and carpet lines in wardrobes, never on food or clothing surfaces. Pheromone monitors confirm the population is actually gone.
Inside the house
Closet moth or pantry moth: two hunts, one map.
Deep cupboards in kitchens rearranged a dozen times, wool rugs in rooms with little traffic, and the gap behind an old cabinet run.
Inside the house, numbered stops on the moth trace.
- 01
Pantry shelves
Indianmeal moths, webbing in flour, cereal and pet food. The kitchen side of the hunt.
- 02
Cabinet crevices
Pantry moth larvae pupate in hinge corners and shelf joints, surviving shelf wipes.
- 03
Closet and stored clothes
Clothes moths work wool and silk in the dark. The bedroom side of the hunt.
- 04
Under-furniture rug edges
The hidden rug strip beneath the bed is the classic clothes-moth feeding site.
- 05
Baseboard lines
Larvae travel the wall lines; crevice treatment cuts the route between rooms.
- 06
Attic storage
Boxed fabrics and holiday textiles get checked; sealed bins are the permanent fix.

The moth visit
Forterra's moth process, step by step.
We go through the storage with you rather than treating cupboards broadly, because the source package is the whole problem. Some material has to be discarded and we say so rather than letting you discover it later.
- 01
Transparent quote
Quote first, always. It takes about sixty seconds online or a phone call, sized to the home. Pantry or closet, the moth-service price is in writing before any visit is booked.
- 02
First-visit inspection
Species comes first, then the trace, pantry shelves package by package, or closets seam by seam, including the rug edges hiding under furniture.
- 03
Clear, treat, monitor
Sources removed, harborage treated, storage corrected, and pheromone monitors placed so the next weeks prove the cycle is broken rather than assume it.
- 04
Guaranteed results
Activity on the monitors after the clear-out earns a free follow-up visit. The money-back guarantee stays in force for as long as the plan does.
Frequently asked
Questions in Dallas, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (972) 349-1621 or text us, a human will answer.
Pantry moths, almost certainly, and they came in with something you bought. In older Dallas kitchens the source is usually at the back of a deep cupboard, or in product that spilled behind a cabinet run years ago and never got cleaned out.
Because the clean-out missed the source. One infested package, or spilled product in the gap behind an old cabinet, keeps the population going regardless of how many jars you wipe down. Finding that package is the job, not the wiping.
Often not. Clothes moth damage is small irregular holes in wool, usually in something stored rather than worn. In older Dallas homes carpet beetles do very similar damage and need a different treatment, so we confirm before anyone throws anything out.
Cedar loses its effect within a year or two and does nothing to larvae already feeding. Mothballs work only in a sealed container at concentrations most people would not want in a wardrobe. Neither fixes an established problem in an older house.
It depends on which moth and how far it has gone. A pantry moth problem caught at the source is a short job; clothes moths through stored wool in an older home take longer. You get a written number before anything starts.
