Beyond Annoyance: The Real Damage Moths Can Inflict on Your Home
It's easy to dismiss a few moths as minor bugs, but different species can lead to distinct and costly problems. Clothes moths, for instance, aren't just a threat to your wool jumpers; they can devastate carpets, curtains, and upholstery made from natural fibres. Their larvae are the real culprits, quietly munching away in dark, undisturbed areas. Then there are pantry moths, which can contaminate stored food products like flour, cereals, and pet food, making them unsafe for consumption. Ignoring these insects can lead to widespread damage and hygiene concerns throughout your home. Our expert pest control services focus on eliminating these threats and preventing their return.

Spotting the Signs: How to Identify a Moth Infestation
Knowing what to look for can help you tackle a moth problem before it gets out of hand. Common signs of an infestation include:
- Visible Moths: Adult moths flying around, especially in kitchens (pantry moths) or wardrobes and dimly lit rooms (clothes moths).
- Larvae or Pupae: Small, cream-coloured larvae or silken cocoons (pupae) often found in cupboards, on fabrics, or near food sources.
- Webbing: Silken tubes or webbing found in corners of food packaging or on fabrics.
- Damage: Irregular holes in clothes, carpets, or upholstery, or fine dust (frass) left behind.
- Contaminated Food: Clumping, tunnels, or an unpleasant smell in stored dry goods.
If you've noticed any of these indicators in your Stratton property, it's time to call in the experts.

01822 668338Why DIY Moth Control Rarely Works – Trust the Professionals
Many people try to tackle moth infestations themselves with sprays or traps from the supermarket. While these might catch a few adult moths, they rarely address the core problem: the larvae hidden away in crevices and protected areas. Professional moth control goes far beyond surface treatment. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians have access to professional-grade insecticides and specialist equipment that effectively target all life stages of the moth, from eggs to adults. We'll identify harborage points you might miss and apply treatments safely and precisely. Trying DIY solutions often only delays effective eradication, allowing the infestation to grow and cause more damage to your home and belongings.

- Environmental Management: Advising on crucial steps you can take, such as thorough cleaning, vacuuming, and proper storage of susceptible items, to maximise the treatment's success.
