Clothes moths are destructive fabric pests, more often noticed by the damage than the insects themselves:

  • Damaged Fabrics: Irregular holes in clothing, carpets, or upholstery.

  • Larval Cases: Silken tubes or cases attached to fabrics.

  • Moth Sightings: Small buff-coloured moths in dark rooms or wardrobes.

  • Shed Skins: Left behind by larvae as they grow.


Our Approach

Moths can be a persistent nuisance, especially when they find their way into natural-fibre carpets or fabrics. Our approach is to locate the areas where moths have laid their eggs — often in carpets containing keratin, which is a food source for their larvae. We conduct a thorough inspection of your home or commercial property to identify these nesting spots and treat them with appropriate insecticides and, in some cases, steam. In certain situations, we may recommend replacing natural-fibre carpets with synthetic alternatives that moths cannot feed on. Our goal is to fully control the moth activity and help you maintain a moth-free environment.

What damage do moths cause?

Moth larvae feed on fabrics, clothing, and stored food.

How do I know if I have moth activity?

Look for holes in clothes, shed larvae cases, and live moths around wardrobes.

Can moths be permanently removed?

Yes, with thorough treatments and safe storage practices.
