We provide Moth Control in Great Gaddesden with over 30 years experience in the pest control industry. Our technicians can quickly identify a moth problem and recommend the best treatment plan to remove the unwanted infestation.
Clothes and carpet moths are the most common, adult moths are completely harmless but the larvae of moths are what cause damage eating fabrics. They can cause severe damage to wool, cotton, silk, leather and carpet.
The moth larvae damage fabric by eating the protein which can put delicate items at risk of damage, especially when they are left in drawers and wardrobes for long periods of time. Damaged clothing can be the first time you will notice signs of a problem.

Adult moths are on the wing from May to September, indoors adults can be found all year round. An adult female moth can lay between 50 and 100 eggs amongst the material which the larvae will feed.
When the larvae emerge from the egg they will begin to feed, during this time they frequently construct a loose silken 'shelter' which has attached to it particles of debris and faecal pellets. Once mature the larvea pupates into a reddish brown colour. When the adult moth emerges it will live for 2 - 3 weeks.
Adult moths have a body length of 6 - 8 mm and a wingspan of 9 - 16 mm. The upper side of the wing is a golden colour with a fringed margin. Adult moths are rarely seen in flight, mostly only the males. Females moths will fly after they have deposited their eggs.
The majority of moths are completely harmless, it is the larvae that are seen as the pest which can cause damage to natural materials such wool, silk, fur, leather and carpet. They can also eat stored food products.
The moth larvae can cause severe damage to clothing if it is left of a drawer or wardrobe untouched for periods of time. This allows the larvae to happily eat the proteins found in the textiles without being disturbed.
