At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the specific challenges moths pose.

Why Choose Us?
Identifying a Moth Infestation in Your Property
Moths often go unnoticed until their numbers have grown significantly, or you spot the damage they're causing. Common signs of a moth problem include small, irregular holes in clothes, carpets, or other fabrics. You might also find silken webs in cupboards or around items, particularly in quiet, undisturbed areas. Larvae, which look like tiny caterpillars, or adult moths flying around, especially at dusk, are also clear indicators. If you suspect an issue, it’s best to call in experienced experts who can quickly confirm the type of moth and the extent of the infestation.

Who We Are
Our Professional Approach to Moth Eradication
Tackling moths effectively requires more than just spraying an off-the-shelf product. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians begin with a thorough site survey to identify the specific moth species – often clothes moths (like the common clothes moth or case-bearing clothes moth) or pantry moths (such as the Indian meal moth) – locate their harborage points, and assess the severity of the problem. We then implement a tailored treatment plan using professional-grade insecticides and other targeted methods designed to eradicate all life stages, from eggs to adult moths. Our solutions are far more effective than DIY attempts and are applied with the utmost care for your home environment and safety.

01822 668338Why DIY Moth Treatments Often Fall Short
Many people try to tackle moth infestations themselves using sprays, traps, or repellents bought from local shops. While these might offer temporary relief for a small number of insects, they rarely address the root cause or reach all the hidden eggs and larvae. Moths are incredibly resilient, and their eggs can be microscopic, making complete eradication challenging without professional knowledge and equipment. Our team knows exactly where to look and what products to use to ensure a comprehensive clearance, saving you time, money, and further damage in the long run.
