The most important point to remember about clothes moths is that soiled cloth is much more likely to become infested. Do not put clothes that have been worn into long-term storage without first cleaning them. Dry cleaning is the most effective method for removing eggs and larvae of insect pests.</p><p><br /></p><p>Store clean clothes in plastic bags or boxes that are tightly sealed.
