Overview
Acana Moth Killer is a household pest control product designed to eliminate clothes moths and their larvae — the stage responsible for the characteristic holes and damage found in wool, cashmere, silk, and other natural fibre garments. Unlike repellent-only products that discourage moths from entering a treated area, a moth killer targets the insects and larvae already present, making it the appropriate choice when an active infestation has been identified or suspected.
Clothes moth infestations are more common than many people realise, and the damage they cause can be significant — particularly to expensive or cherished natural fibre items stored for a season. Acana offers a straightforward, effective approach to tackling the problem: used correctly in wardrobes, drawers, and storage areas, it kills existing moths and larvae while providing ongoing protection against reinfestation. Acting quickly at the first signs of moth activity is always preferable to waiting, as infestations escalate rapidly in undisturbed storage environments.
Note: specific product format, size, active ingredient(s), and full usage and safety instructions for barcode 5060214390453 should be verified on the physical packaging and supplied manually before publishing.
What It Does
- Kills adult clothes moths and larvae on contact. The active ingredient works directly against both the adult moth and — critically — the larvae that hatch from eggs and cause the actual fabric damage, breaking the infestation cycle at multiple stages.
- Provides residual protection in treated areas. Beyond the initial kill action, the product continues to protect the treated space for the duration of its effective period, preventing reinfestation from moths entering or eggs already present in the environment.
- Protects natural fibre clothing and textiles. Positioned and used correctly in wardrobes, drawers, and storage areas, Acana creates a protective environment for wool, cashmere, silk, angora, and other natural fibre items vulnerable to moth damage.
How to Apply
Specific application instructions, placement guidance, coverage area, and replacement schedule: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing. General guidance below reflects standard moth killer product usage.
- Read the full instructions and safety information on the packaging before use — this is particularly important for insecticidal pest control products.
- Identify all affected and at-risk areas — wardrobes, drawers, storage boxes, under-bed storage, and any area where natural fibre items are kept.
- Remove items from storage if required by the specific product instructions — inspect garments for larvae or damage and clean before replacing.
- Place or apply the product according to the instructions — ensure correct positioning for maximum coverage of the treated space.
- Pay particular attention to dark corners, folds, and undisturbed areas where moths prefer to lay eggs.
- Keep children and pets away from treated areas during and after application as directed on pack.
- Replace the product at the recommended interval to maintain continuous protection — a product past its effective period will not protect stored items.
For a severe or persistent infestation, professional pest control advice should be sought alongside product treatment.
Who It's For
- Anyone who has identified an active clothes moth infestation in their home — or suspects one based on signs of fabric damage, visible larvae, or adult moths.
- Those with valuable or cherished natural fibre items — wool suits, cashmere knitwear, silk garments, vintage pieces, or heirloom textiles — who want active, reliable protection.
- Proactive households taking preventative action before infestation occurs, particularly those who store seasonal clothing for extended periods.
- Those seeking a stronger action than repellent-only products — moth killers are appropriate where repellents have proven insufficient or where an active infestation requires a direct kill-action response.
Good to Know
- Larvae cause the damage — not adult moths. Adult clothes moths do not eat fabric. It is the larvae that hatch from eggs laid in natural fibres that consume the keratin protein in wool, silk, and cashmere, causing the characteristic holes. A product that kills larvae — not just adult moths — is essential for addressing an active infestation effectively.
- Clean garments before storing. Moths are strongly attracted to natural fibres that carry traces of perspiration, skin oils, or food residue. Always clean natural fibre garments thoroughly before putting them away for a season — moth damage to dirty stored items is one of the most common and preventable causes of wardrobe loss.
- Replace at recommended intervals. All moth killer products have a finite effective period after which the active ingredient degrades. Follow the replacement schedule on the pack to maintain continuous protection.

FAQs
What is the difference between Acana and Acan Moth Killer?
Acana (barcode 5060214390453) and Acan (barcode 5060214390460) are closely related products — likely variants within the same brand range, potentially differing in format, active ingredient concentration, or product type (for example, one may be a spray and the other a strip or sachet). The specific differences between the two should be verified on the physical packaging of each product before publishing, to allow accurate differentiation in the product listings and help customers choose the most appropriate option for their needs.
How do I know if I have a clothes moth infestation?
Key signs include small, irregular holes in natural fibre garments (particularly wool and cashmere), silky webbing or tunnels on the surface of affected fabrics, small cream-coloured larvae on or near garments, sandy debris at the bottom of wardrobes, or small buff-coloured adult moths seen running along the floor or lower walls rather than flying toward lights. Moths tend to inhabit dark, undisturbed areas — check the back corners of wardrobes, the folds of stored garments, and items that haven't been worn or moved for several months.
Is this safe around children and pets?
Specific safety information for this product: please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing. As a general principle, all insecticidal moth killer products should be kept out of reach of children, used in ventilated spaces, and applied only to the areas specified in the instructions. Keep children and pets away from treated areas during application and for the period specified on pack.
Can moth killers damage my clothes?
When used correctly and according to the product instructions, moth killer products are formulated to be safe for use in fabric storage environments without direct garment damage. However, avoid direct contact between the product and delicate or pale-coloured fabrics unless the specific product instructions confirm this is safe. If in doubt, place the product in a position where it treats the air space rather than resting against garments directly.
How long does the protection last?
Protection duration is specific to the product format and active ingredient concentration. Please verify on the physical packaging and supply manually before publishing. As a general guide, most moth killer products provide effective protection for two to four months before requiring replacement. Setting a calendar reminder when you place the product ensures you replace it on time rather than discovering the protection has lapsed after damage has occurred.
