A wide variety of fabric pest control products are available for both repelling and treating infested items. Two of the most commonly used are paradichlorobenzene, known by the trade name mothballs, and naphthalene. These chemicals, when used in a manner as recommended on the label, are lethal to all stages of clothes moths and other fabric pests.
