Signs Of A Moth Infestation
The most prevalent pest moths are common clothes moths, also known as carpet moths. They eat natural fibres, including wool, leather, cotton, velvet, feathers and fur. That means they can cause serious damage to clothing and fabrics throughout your house, including carpets, curtains, soft furnishings, upholstered furniture and others. Alongside carpet moths, you may also encounter Indian meal moths, also known as pantry moths. Pantry moths feed on dried foods, such as grains, flour and other stored foods.
While you might notice moths flying around, this isn’t itself a sign of a moth problem. Signs that you have a pest moth infestation include:
- Sightings Near Food Sources: If you see lots of adult moths flying around near your pantry, wardrobes or carpets, this could indicate that you have food moths or clothes moths.
- Holes In Clothes Or Bare Patches In Carpets: Irregular holes in clothing, bare patches in carpets or damage to soft furnishings could be signs of carpet and clothes moths.
- Larvae, Eggs Or Silk Casings: Moth larvae, eggs or silk casings could indicate that moths are breeding in your space.
Moths can cause serious issues for both homes and businesses throughout Bromley, South London and the South East if left unchecked. Homeowners may find expensive damage to carpets, curtains and other fabrics. They may also struggle to kill moths using DIY moth control products, which are ineffective. Businesses may face similar struggles, but some historic sites or hospitality venues may find it difficult to replace infested items, such as clothes or soft furniture.
So, you need to be vigilant and check for indicators of moth activity. If you notice any of these signs of moths, you need to get professional moth treatment fast. Contact us and we’ll provide expert support to remove moths at all life cycle stages.
How Pest Relief Gets Rid Of Moths
While moths are bigger than other insects, such as bed bugs, fleas or ants, they can be just as difficult to treat. Adult moths might seem the most irritating, but the moth larvae are the most destructive, as they need to eat a lot of protein to form the pupal stage and grow into adults. During this time, they will eat a lot of natural fabrics, such as carpets, clothes and curtains, throughout your home, or, in the case of pantry moths, dried foods.
That’s why you should call in Pest Relief at the first sign of moth activity. We use residual insecticide that isn’t available to the general public to kill moths throughout the whole cycle, including eggs, larvae, pupa and adult moths. Our experts know that moths favour dark places to lay eggs, and will use our knowledge to provide targeted moth treatment that works. If you’re ready to get rid of your moth infestation, call Pest Relief Services on 0800 0029 187 today.
