Spotting the Signs of a Moth Infestation in Your Property
Moths are often masters of disguise, and a problem can quickly escalate before you even realise it. So, how can you tell if you have a moth issue in your Newquay home or business? Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Damaged Fabrics: Small, irregular holes in clothes, carpets, upholstery, or even curtains are a classic indicator of clothes moths.
- Webbing or Cocoons: Fine silken tubes or cocoons, often found in undisturbed areas like wardrobes, drawers, or food cupboards, suggest active larvae.
- Larvae (Caterpillars): These are the destructive stage of the moth's life cycle. They are small, whitish worms that can be found crawling on fabrics or in food products.
- Adult Moths: While the flying adult moths aren't usually the ones causing damage, seeing them fluttering around, especially at dusk or in dark areas, can indicate a breeding population nearby. Food moths might be seen in your kitchen or pantry.
If you notice any of these signs, it's time to act quickly to prevent further damage.

Who We Are
Why Professional Moth Treatment is Your Best Solution
Many people try DIY moth treatments first, but these often fall short. Moths, especially their larvae, can hide in incredibly obscure places, making complete eradication a real challenge for the untrained eye. Over-the-counter products rarely have the strength or reach to eliminate every life stage, leading to recurring infestations.
Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians at Moorlander Pest Control use professional-grade insecticides and techniques that are far more potent and targeted than anything available to the public. We conduct a thorough site survey to identify all harborage points, allowing us to implement a comprehensive strategy that tackles moths from egg to adult. This integrated approach not only gets rid of your current pest problem but also provides advice for future prevention, offering you lasting peace of mind.

01822 668338Targeting All Common Moth Pests: Clothes Moths, Food Moths & More
Moths aren't all the same, and different species require different control strategies. Our experienced team is proficient in dealing with all common types of moths found in Devon and Cornwall, including:
- Common Clothes Moths (Tineola bisselliella): These are the main culprits behind damage to natural fibres like wool, silk, and fur.
- Case-bearing Clothes Moths (Tinea pellionella): Similar to common clothes moths, but their larvae create distinctive silken cases as they feed.
- Indian Meal Moths (Plodia interpunctella): A common food pest, often found in dried goods like cereals, flour, nuts, and pet food, creating webbing within packaging.
- Warehouse Moths (Ephestia elutella): Another food pest, typically infesting stored grain products and confectionery.
No matter the species, our deep understanding of moth biology and behaviour allows us to implement highly effective control measures.
