Expert Moth Control in Salcombe & South Devon
Finding moths in your home or business can be a real nuisance, and often, a sign of a much larger problem lurking out of sight. Whether you’re seeing adult moths fluttering around or discovering tell-tale damage to your clothes, carpets, or pantry items, it’s a clear indication that you need a professional solution. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges of moth infestations in coastal areas like Salcombe and across the South Hams. With 20 years of experience, our RSPH-qualified experts are on hand to quickly and effectively deal with any moth problem, protecting your valuable possessions and peace of mind.
Why Choose Us?
Recognising the Signs of a Moth Infestation
It's crucial to identify a moth problem early to prevent extensive damage. Common signs you might notice include: small holes appearing in natural fibres like wool, silk, or cashmere, especially on items stored away for a while. You might also spot silken cases or webs, which are often the larvae or pupae. Sometimes, it’s just the adult moths themselves, flying erratically or resting on walls. For pantry moths, you could find larvae or webbing in food packaging, particularly in cereals, grains, or dried fruit. Don't ignore these early warnings; these tiny insects can cause surprisingly significant damage to your property and belongings if left unchecked.

Who We Are
Why Professional Moth Treatment is Essential
When it comes to moths, DIY solutions often fall short. Over-the-counter sprays and repellents might tackle a few visible adults, but they rarely get to the root of the infestation – the larvae and eggs hidden deep within fabrics, cracks, and crevices. Our professional approach at Moorlander Pest Control goes far beyond surface treatment. As BPCA affiliated members, our methods are based on industry best practices, utilising professional-grade insecticides that are far more targeted and effective than anything you can buy in a shop. We have the expertise to identify the specific moth species and apply the most appropriate, safe, and powerful treatment to fully eradicate the problem from your Salcombe property.

01822 668338Our Thorough Moth Eradication Process
We take a meticulous, multi-step approach to ensure complete moth eradication. It starts with a comprehensive survey of your property in Salcombe to pinpoint the source of the infestation, identify harborage areas, and assess the extent of the problem. Following this, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians will develop a tailored treatment plan. This typically involves targeted application of residual insecticides to affected areas like carpets, curtains, wardrobes, and furniture. We focus on areas where eggs and larvae are likely to be present, not just the visible adult moths. We'll also provide clear guidance on pre-treatment preparation and post-treatment clean-up, ensuring the best possible long-term results and helping you prevent a recurrence.

We also frequently handle carpet moths, which can cause significant damage to rugs and fitted carpets. And it’s not just fabric pests; we’re equally adept at controlling pantry moths (also known as Indian Meal Moths), which infest dried food products in your kitchen cupboards.
