In New Westminster, homes with rich history and older construction are especially prone to fabric pest issues. Moths, carpet beetles, and silverfish are drawn to organic fibers in rugs, vintage clothing, and upholstered furniture—particularly in character homes near Queen’s Park or older apartment buildings downtown. These pests often go unnoticed until they’ve already caused significant damage.

At 1st Pest Control, we specialize in treating fabric pests with precision and care. Whether you’re preserving antique textiles or modern wardrobes, our treatments eliminate infestations without harming your belongings.

We help New Westminster residents protect what matters—from treasured family items to everyday essentials.
