Identifying a moth infestation

Moths are harmless and don’t spread disease. But in large numbers, can be a real problem and you won’t want them in a wardrobe, cupboard or pantry, using your clothes or dry foods for nutrition. While there are around 2,500 species of moths in the UK, homes and properties will commonly have problems with three: the clothes moth, the brown house moth and the white-shouldered house moth. The clothes moth and brown house moth feed on clothing – the brown house moth usually feeds on animal products such as leather – and the white-shouldered moth lays eggs and feeds on cereals.

If you see adults more often or in larger numbers, it can mean an infestation has already taken hold. Finding eggs, or larvae is also another clear sign that you need our advice on effective moth pest control.

Controlling moth infestations

DIY treatments may work for minor infestations, but you can’t guarantee you’ve targeted the entire lifecycle. The only way to be sure is to call our team for proper moth pest control advice. For the most severe infestations, or if it’s urgent, only professional intervention from a pest controller trained in the use of pesticides will be effective. We can discuss your situation and give you an idea of the problem and a quote there and then.

We treat moth infestations using a water-based insecticide, which is ‘fogged’ throughout the infected area to target all stages of the moth’s lifecycle

Handling a moth problem

Fast Action

Once an infestation starts it will cause damage to clothing, upholstery, carpets and dry foods, so it’s important to act fast. Moths can reproduce quickly and left unchecked the problem can move to other parts of your property. If you need help, call our professional moth pest control team.

Treatment

Able moth pest control service uses a water-based insecticide to fog the problem. Any fabrics should be washed on the hottest wash possible to remove any eggs. Be sure to check everywhere that clothes are stored. In the case of a cereal moth infestation, in a pantry, for example, any food stuff should be thrown away.

General maintenance

General maintenance around your home, such as filling in gaps and cracks, will remove access routes for most bugs and pests. Removing their food source also helps too, so keep food in airtight containers as much as possible.

Do you have a moth problem?

Signs of an infestation

Clothes Moths feed on natural fibres and Pantry Moths are found where there are dry foods. Like most pests, moths seek out places where they can live without being disturbed and where there are food sources – and for Clothes Moths wardrobes and drawers are perfect. If you discover small holes in your fabrics, webbing in pantry foods, or adult moths themselves, call our moth pest control experts.

All Year Round

Moth infestations can and do happen at any time of the year but are more common as the weather warms up. The best prevention is to stop them coming indoors, but this isn’t always possible. Moths first come in April and May then again in August and September. DIY methods such as lavender oil may deter moth activity, but professional pest control is the only response once an infestation has taken hold.

Treating Moth Infestations

You should start to see results within days of the insecticide being used, depending on the size and type of infestation. The biggest infestations may need a follow-up visit to make sure that all adults, larvae and eggs are treated. You’ll need to throw food and wash any fabrics or clothing on as hot a wash as possible. Freezing clothes can also kill eggs - exposing the eggs to extremes of temperature kills them off.

Ongoing Prevention

Our expert moth pest controllers can recommend specific prevention tips, which includes identifying entry points, as well as storage options for clothes, fabrics and food. Regular cleaning is important too. If you’ve had a previous moth problem, we suggest inspecting risk areas on a regular basis to uncover any issues early on. If you want your moths gone, don’t search ‘moth pest control near me’ go straight to the experts at Able Group.
