Professional Moth Treatment and Protection

Moths cause extensive damage to natural fibers including wool, silk, fur, and feathers. The two main pest species, clothes moths and carpet moths, can destroy valuable clothing, carpets, upholstery, and textiles if left untreated. Our specialist moth treatment service identifies the species, locates infestations, and applies targeted treatments that eliminate moths while protecting your valuable possessions.

Moth Species and Damage

Common clothes moths and case-bearing clothes moths attack garments, particularly those made from wool, cashmere, and silk. Larvae feed on fabric, creating holes and weakening materials. Carpet moths target wool carpets, rugs, and the underside of furniture, creating bare patches and trails. Unlike adult moths which don't feed, larvae cause all damage and can live for several months, causing progressive destruction.

Inspection and Detection

We thoroughly inspect affected areas including wardrobes, drawers, carpets, and stored items. Signs include adult moths, webbing, larvae, pupae cases, and damage to fabrics. We identify high-risk areas where moths are likely to breed, including undisturbed spaces, dark corners, and stored items that haven't been moved for extended periods.

Treatment Methods

We use professional insecticidal sprays and fumigation treatments targeting both adult moths and larvae. Treatments are applied to carpets, along skirting boards, in wardrobes, and on affected furnishings. For valuable clothing, we recommend professional cleaning to kill eggs and larvae before returning items to treated storage areas. Pheromone traps monitor ongoing activity and catch adult males.

Prevention Strategy

We provide comprehensive advice on preventing future infestations including regular cleaning, proper storage of woolen items, and environmental management to make conditions unsuitable for moth breeding.
