Moths out. Wardrobes safe.

Warning signs

Signs of a moth problem

Moths are easy to miss until the damage is done. These are the signs to watch for.

Holes in fabric

Irregular holes in clothing, especially wool, silk and natural fibres.

Larvae & casings

Small cream larvae or silken cases in wardrobe corners and folds.

Webbing in food

Silky webbing and clumping in flour, grains, cereal and dried food.

Flying moths

Small moths fluttering out of wardrobes, cupboards or the pantry.

Carpet damage

Thinning or bare patches in carpet edges and under furniture.

Musty smell

A musty odour in an affected wardrobe or storage area.

Our method

A treatment that targets the larvae, not just the adults

By the time you see moths flying, larvae have usually been feeding for a while. We target where the real damage happens.

1STEP 01

Inspect & identify

We determine whether it's clothes or pantry moths and locate the infested items and areas.

2STEP 02

Treat the source

Targeted treatment of wardrobes, cupboards, cracks and voids where larvae develop.

3STEP 03

Break the cycle

We disrupt the breeding cycle so eggs and larvae don't mature into new adults.

4STEP 04

Protect & advise

Guidance on storage, cleaning and monitoring to keep clothing and food protected.

Moths FAQ

Moth questions, answered

Straight answers about how we treat, what's safe, and what to expect.

How do you get rid of moths? +
We treat the source — wardrobes, cupboards, cracks and food-storage areas where larvae develop — and disrupt the breeding cycle, rather than just removing visible adults.
Is the treatment safe around clothes and food? +
Yes, when applied correctly by our technicians. We'll advise on protecting or removing food items and airing clothing after treatment.
What's the difference between clothes and pantry moths? +
Clothes moths damage natural-fibre clothing and carpets; pantry moths infest stored food like flour and grains. The treatment approach differs, so correct identification matters.
How did I get moths? +
Eggs often arrive on second-hand clothing, infested food packaging or through open windows, then thrive in undisturbed, dark storage areas.
Will they come back? +
Our treatment is warranty-backed. With correct storage and monitoring, moths are kept away — and if they return in the warranty period, so do we.
How can I prevent moths? +
Store woollens in sealed containers, keep dry food in airtight jars, clean wardrobes regularly and act on any early signs. We'll give you a prevention checklist.
