As with all pests, locating the source is the best place to start. Our experts will ensure that insecticides are in contact with the insect at all stages of the life cycle, therefore all areas which they may frequent, feed, fly or lay eggs in need to be treated.

Different Types of Moths
Common Clothes Moth
(Tineola bisselliella)
The common clothes moth larvae are responsible for making irregular hoes in fabrics. It is the larvae that cause all the damage as the adult does not feed.
Case Bearing Clothes Moth
(Tinea pellionella)
More rare than a common clothes moth, larval casing takes on the colour of the fabric it consumes, so can be difficult to spot.
Brown House Moth
(Hofmannophila pseudospretella)
Brown in colour, with three of four darker spots, the Brown House Moth Larvae feed on animal textiles like wool, leather and feathers.
