The Hidden Dangers of Moths in Your Home or Business
Many people underestimate the damage moths can inflict. You might spot a few flying around, but the real issue lies with their larvae. Clothes moths, for instance, silently munch through natural fibres like wool, cashmere, silk, and even leather, leaving unsightly holes in your favourite jumpers, carpets, and upholstery. Pantry moths, on the other hand, contaminate cereals, flour, dried fruits, and other stored food items, making them unsafe for consumption. Trying to tackle a moth infestation yourself with off-the-shelf sprays often falls short because it doesn’t address the root of the problem – the breeding sites and all life stages of the moth. If you’re seeing moths in your Moretonhampstead property, it's time for professional help.

01822 668338Identifying Common Moth Species Affecting Devon Homes
Understanding which moth you’re dealing with is crucial for effective treatment. In the Moretonhampstead area, we commonly encounter:
- Common Clothes Moths (Tineola bisselliella): These small, dull, golden-coloured moths are attracted to natural fibres. You might see them fluttering weakly, and evidence of their presence often includes silken tubes or cases on fabrics, and irregular holes in clothes.
- Case-Bearing Clothes Moths (Tinea pellionella): Similar to common clothes moths, but their larvae create a small, silken case they carry around with them as they feed.
- Indian Meal Moths (Plodia interpunctella): A common pantry pest, these moths have distinctive wings with a reddish-brown outer half and a greyish inner half. Their larvae infest stored food products like cereals, nuts, and dried fruit, often leaving behind webbing.
- Mill Moths (Ephestia kuehniella): Another food pest, these are typically greyish with dark zig-zag patterns on their wings. They prefer flour and grain products.
If you’re unsure what type of moth you have, our RSPH qualified technicians can quickly identify the culprit during our initial visit.
