Tackling Troublesome Moths in Your Plymouth Home
Moths might seem like a small problem, but a full-blown moth infestation can cause significant damage to your clothing, carpets, food supplies, and even cherished heirlooms. If you’ve spotted these unwelcome flutterers in your property, or found unexplained holes in your favourite jumper, it’s time to call in the experts. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the distress and potential cost that moths can inflict. With 20 years of hands-on experience in pest management across Devon and Cornwall, we offer professional, effective, and discreet moth control solutions designed to eradicate the problem and protect your property.
Why Choose Us?
Why Professional Moth Eradication is Essential for Your Property
While DIY moth traps and sprays might offer temporary relief, they rarely get to the root of a significant infestation. Moths can hide in incredibly difficult-to-reach places, and their larvae – the real culprits – are often overlooked. Attempting to deal with moths yourself can be frustrating and ultimately ineffective, leading to ongoing damage. As BPCA affiliated members, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians at Moorlander Pest Control possess the specialist knowledge and professional-grade treatments needed to identify the specific moth species, locate all harborage points, and implement a targeted eradication plan. We don't just clear the visible pests; we aim for a comprehensive, lasting solution.

Who We Are
Our Thorough Moth Control Treatment Process
When you call Moorlander Pest Control, you’re engaging a team committed to solving your moth problem with precision. Our comprehensive moth treatment process typically involves:
- Detailed Inspection: Our experts will conduct a meticulous survey of your property, from lofts to skirting boards, to pinpoint the species of moth, the extent of the infestation, and all breeding and hiding spots.
- Targeted Treatment: Based on our findings, we’ll apply professional-grade insecticides or other appropriate treatments designed to eliminate moths at all life stages – eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. These are far more potent and effective than anything available over-the-counter.
- Larval Stage Focus: Since it’s the larvae that cause the damage, a significant part of our treatment focuses on these destructive stages, ensuring no future generations emerge.
- Preventative Advice: We’ll provide clear, actionable advice on how to prepare your property for treatment and what steps you can take afterwards to prevent future infestations. This might include recommendations for thorough cleaning, decluttering, or specific storage solutions.

Knowing which type of moth you’re dealing with helps us tailor the most effective treatment. Here are the common culprits we encounter in Plymouth and the surrounding areas:
- Clothes Moths (Tineola bisselliella & Tinea pellionella): These are perhaps the most notorious, feeding on natural fibres like wool, silk, fur, and feathers. You might find irregular holes in clothes, carpets, or upholstery, or small silken cases in dark, undisturbed areas.
- Pantry Moths / Indian Meal Moths (Plodia interpunctella): Often found in kitchens and food storage areas, these moths infest dry goods such as cereals, flour, nuts, and pet food. Look for webbing in food containers, larvae on walls, or adult moths flying erratically near food sources.
- Carpet Moths (Anthrenus scrophulariae): Similar to clothes moths, these larvae feast on carpets, rugs, and sometimes furniture, leaving bare patches.
If you’re unsure, our experts can quickly identify the species and the best course of action.
