Do You Have a Moth Problem? Signs to Look Out For
It’s often the damage they leave behind that first alerts homeowners to a moth infestation. While seeing an adult moth flying around, particularly in the evenings, is a clear indicator, it's the larvae that cause the real issues. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs:
- Damage to fabrics: Irregular holes in clothes, carpets, rugs, upholstery, or even curtains. This is characteristic of clothes moths.
- Webbing: Fine, silken webs in corners of wardrobes, drawers, or food cupboards. These might contain larval casings or frass (excrement).
- Larvae: Small, cream-coloured grubs often found in dark, undisturbed areas where fabrics or food are stored.
- Pupa cases: Silken cocoons attached to surfaces, often near the damaged items.
- Adult moths: Small moths, typically 6-12mm long, flying in your living spaces or found resting on walls or ceilings. Different species look slightly different; for instance, clothes moths are often pale gold or silver-grey, while pantry moths might have distinctive wing patterns.

Who We Are
Why Professional Moth Treatment is Essential for Your Home
While many people try DIY sprays or traps, these often only address the adult moths you can see, leaving the real source of the problem – the eggs and larvae hidden in cracks, crevices, and deep within materials – untouched. This is why moth infestations so frequently return. Our professional approach to moth control goes far beyond surface treatment. As BPCA affiliated members with RSPH Level 2 qualifications, our experienced technicians use targeted, professional-grade insecticides and techniques that are not available to the general public. We get to the root of the issue, ensuring a more thorough and lasting eradication of these persistent pests from your home.
