Targeting Moths in Barnstaple: Expert Control for Your Home & Business
Discovering moths, or worse, damage caused by them, can be incredibly upsetting. These tiny insects might seem harmless, but they can cause significant, irreversible damage to clothes, carpets, upholstery, and stored food. If you're seeing moths fluttering about your property in Barnstaple, or noticing unexplained holes in your favourite jumper, it’s time to act. At Moorlander Pest Control, we provide professional, effective moth control solutions across Barnstaple and the surrounding Devon area. With over 20 years of experience, we understand how to quickly get to the root of your moth problem, offering peace of mind and protecting your valuable possessions.
Why Choose Us?
Signs You Might Have a Moth Infestation
It's not always obvious that you have a moth problem until the damage is done. However, there are some clear indicators to look out for in your home or business. You might spot adult moths flying, particularly in quiet, undisturbed areas like wardrobes or pantries. But the real culprits are their larvae. Look for small, irregular holes in fabrics, often accompanied by silken tunnels, cocoons, or tiny faecal pellets (which look like sand). You might also find larvae themselves, small, caterpillar-like grubs that are feeding on your textiles or food. Common types include clothes moths (like the Common Clothes Moth or Case-bearing Clothes Moth) and pantry moths (like the Indian Meal Moth) – each requiring a specific approach.

Who We Are
Why Professional Moth Eradication is the Smart Choice
Moths are notoriously tricky to eliminate completely. Over-the-counter DIY products often only address the adult moths you can see, leaving behind eggs and larvae hidden deep within carpets, furniture, or food packaging. This means the problem quickly returns. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians at Moorlander Pest Control are experts in identifying the specific moth species and the extent of the infestation. We use professional-grade insecticides and techniques that are far more effective and targeted than anything you can buy in a shop, ensuring we tackle all life stages – from eggs to adults. Our BPCA affiliation means our methods adhere to the highest industry standards, giving you a safe and thorough service.
