Targeting Moth Infestations in Teignmouth: Your Local Experts
Finding moths fluttering around your home or discovering tell-tale holes in your favourite jumper can be incredibly frustrating.

If you're in Teignmouth or the wider Devon area and suspect a moth problem, you need a quick, effective, and professional solution. That's where Moorlander Pest Control steps in. With 20 years of hands-on experience in pest management, our local team provides discreet and highly effective moth control services tailored to your needs.
Why Choose Us?
Understanding Your Moth Problem: What to Look For
Before we tackle the problem, it’s helpful to know what you’re up against. Moths typically target natural fibres like wool, silk, cotton, and even fur. Common signs of a moth infestation in your Teignmouth home or business include:
- Damaged Fabrics: Irregular holes in clothes, carpets, rugs, or upholstery are the most obvious sign.
- Webbing or Larvae: You might spot fine, silken webbing in secluded areas, especially in wardrobes or drawers. You might also see small, cream-coloured larvae or pupae cases.
- Adult Moths: While the adult moths themselves don't do the damage (it's their larvae), seeing them flying around, particularly in dimly lit areas or near windows, indicates an active infestation.
- Frass: This is moth droppings, which look like tiny sand-like particles.
Don't let these tiny pests ruin your belongings. The sooner you act, the less damage they can inflict.

Who We Are
Our Expert Approach to Moth Control & Eradication
At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand that moth eradication requires a thorough and precise approach. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians don't just spray and leave; we implement a comprehensive strategy that gets to the root of the problem.
- Thorough Inspection: We start with a detailed survey of your property, identifying the specific moth species (e.g., clothes moths, carpet moths, food moths), the extent of the infestation, and pinpointing harborage points.
- Targeted Treatment: We use professional-grade insecticides specifically formulated to tackle moths at all life stages – from eggs and larvae to adult moths. These treatments are more powerful and targeted than anything available over-the-counter, ensuring maximum effectiveness. We focus on areas where moths are active, such as wardrobes, carpets, skirting boards, and behind furniture.
- Proofing & Prevention Advice: Once the treatment is complete, we provide expert advice on how to prevent future infestations. This includes guidance on cleaning, storage, and proofing measures to keep your property moth-free for the long term.
We pride ourselves on providing effective solutions that protect your valuable possessions and restore your peace of mind.

After our expert treatment, the battle isn't over entirely. Prevention is key to keeping moths away for good. We’ll offer practical advice on how to moth-proof your home, including:
- Regular vacuuming, especially in less-used areas like under furniture and along skirting boards.
- Thorough cleaning of clothes and fabrics before storing them, as moths are attracted to dirt and sweat.
- Storing valuable items in sealed bags or containers.
- Maintaining good ventilation in wardrobes and cupboards.
- Using natural deterrents like cedar or lavender, though these are often best used after an infestation has been professionally dealt with.
