Spotting the Signs: Do You Have a Moth Problem?
Moths often go unnoticed until their numbers are significant, or you start seeing the damage they cause. It’s crucial to know what to look for. You might spot adult moths flying around, particularly in quieter, darker areas like wardrobes or pantries. However, it’s their larvae that cause the real trouble. Common signs include:
- Holes in fabrics: Irregular holes in clothes, carpets, rugs, curtains, or upholstered furniture.
- Webbing: Silken tubes or patches of webbing, especially in corners of wardrobes, under furniture, or on affected items.
- Small, rice-grain-sized larvae: Tiny, creamy-white caterpillars that are often well-hidden.
- Pupal cases: Silken cocoons where larvae transform into adult moths.
- Frass: Tiny, sand-like droppings that look like dust, usually matching the colour of the fabric they’re eating.
If you’re noticing any of these indicators in your Great Torrington property, it’s time to call in the experts.

Who We Are
The Damage Moths Can Inflict on Your Property
Many people underestimate the potential for damage caused by moths. While adult moths are mostly harmless, their hungry larvae are a different story. Clothes moths, such as the Common Clothes Moth and Case-bearing Clothes Moth, will voraciously feed on natural fibres like wool, silk, cashmere, fur, and feathers. This means your favourite jumper, valuable antique rug, or even the insulation in your loft could be at risk. Meanwhile, pantry moths, like the Indian Meal Moth, will contaminate dried food products including cereals, flour, pasta, nuts, and even pet food, making them unfit for consumption. Ignoring a moth infestation won’t make it go away; it will only lead to more extensive and costly damage to your home and belongings.

01822 668338Why Professional Moth Eradication is Essential for Lasting Results
You might be tempted to try DIY moth traps or sprays from the supermarket. While these can catch a few adult moths, they rarely address the root of the problem: the hidden larvae and eggs nestled deep within fabrics or food sources. Over-the-counter products often lack the strength and targeted application needed for a full eradication. Moths are incredibly resilient, and their larvae can hide in hard-to-reach cracks, crevices, and deep within materials. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use professional-grade insecticides and techniques that effectively penetrate these harborage points, targeting all life stages of the moth to ensure a comprehensive and lasting solution. We understand moth behaviour and biology, allowing us to implement an effective pest management strategy that DIY simply can’t match.
