Identifying Your Moth Problem: Clothes Moths vs. Pantry Moths
Often, when people call us about a moth problem, they're dealing with one of two main culprits: clothes moths or pantry moths. Understanding which type of moth you're facing is the first crucial step to effective pest management.
- Clothes Moths: These tiny, often dull-coloured moths (like the Common Clothes Moth or Case-Bearing Clothes Moth) are drawn to natural fibres. You might notice small holes in jumpers, carpets, or even upholstery. They thrive in dark, undisturbed areas like wardrobes, lofts, or under furniture.
- Pantry Moths: Also known as Indian Meal Moths, these are typically found in your kitchen or larder. They're attracted to stored food items like cereals, flour, pasta, and even pet food. Signs include moths flying around food cupboards, larvae (small ‘worms’) in food, or tell-tale webbing in corners of packaging.

Who We Are
Why DIY Moth Treatments Often Fall Short
While many homeowners try off-the-shelf moth repellents or traps, these often only address the adult moths you can see. The real problem lies with the hidden larvae and eggs, which are much harder to eradicate without professional knowledge and equipment. Moths can quickly reproduce, and their larvae can cause significant damage to your belongings or contaminate food supplies. Our expert services go beyond surface treatments; we get to the root of the infestation, providing a comprehensive solution that protects your home effectively and efficiently.

Once we've successfully treated your current moth problem, prevention becomes key. Our experts will advise you on the best ways to keep these pests from returning. This could involve:

- Storing natural fibres, such as woollens and silks, in sealed, airtight containers.
- Checking new food packaging thoroughly before bringing it into the home.
