We offer swift, effective, and discreet moth control solutions right across Truro and the wider Cornwall area, drawing on over 20 years of hands-on experience in pest management.

Identifying Your Moth Problem: Common Species & Their Signs
Moths aren't just a nuisance; they're a real problem that requires specific treatment depending on the type you're dealing with. The most common culprits we encounter are Clothes Moths (Tineola bisselliella and Tinea pellionella) and Stored Product Moths like Indian Meal Moths (Plodia interpunctella) and Warehouse Moths (Ephestia elutella).
- Clothes & Carpet Moths: You might notice irregular holes in natural fibres – wool, silk, cashmere, fur, or even carpets. Small, silken tunnels or cases, shed larval skins, and adult moths flying are all clear indicators. They often hide in dark, undisturbed areas like wardrobes, under furniture, or in lofts.
- Stored Product Moths: These moths, often found in kitchens and pantries, infest dry goods like cereals, flour, pasta, and pet food. Look for webbing in food containers, damaged packaging, or adult moths flying near food sources.
Spotting any of these signs means it's time to act quickly to prevent further damage.

Who We Are
Why DIY Moth Treatments Often Fall Short
While there are many off-the-shelf moth repellents and traps available, they rarely provide a complete solution for an established infestation. These products often only address adult moths, failing to tackle the larvae – the real culprits causing the damage – or the eggs. Moths are incredibly resilient, and their larvae can hide in the tiniest cracks and crevices, making them notoriously difficult to eradicate without professional knowledge and specialist equipment. Our RSPH-qualified technicians understand moth biology and behaviour, allowing us to implement targeted treatments that reach every life stage, ensuring thorough eradication.

01822 668338Our Professional Moth Eradication Process
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't believe in quick fixes; we believe in lasting solutions. Our comprehensive moth control process for your Truro property involves several key steps:
- Thorough Inspection: We start with a meticulous site survey to identify the specific moth species, locate all harbourage points, and assess the extent of the infestation. This is crucial for a targeted treatment plan.
- Targeted Treatment: Based on our findings, we apply professional-grade insecticides to infested areas, including cracks, crevices, carpets, and fabrics. We use products that are more effective and precise than anything available to the public. For stored product moths, we'll advise on discarding infested food items and deep cleaning.
- Expert Advice & Prevention: Beyond treatment, we provide practical advice on how to prepare your property for treatment and, crucially, how to prevent future moth problems. This can include guidance on storage, cleaning routines, and potential proofing measures.
- Follow-Up: Depending on the severity, a follow-up visit may be recommended to ensure complete eradication and peace of mind.
