Got a Moth Problem?
Our carpet and clothes moth treatment starts with identification and an inspection of the affected areas. We look for larvae, fabric damage and activity around carpet edges, stored clothing and undisturbed furnishings. Warren explains the preparation, treatment programme and follow-up requirements for your property, together with cleaning and aftercare instructions.
Moth larvae can cause significant damage to carpets, clothing and natural fibres if an infestation is allowed to develop.
Before treatment, Warren will explain what needs to be moved, cleaned or protected. Follow the written preparation and aftercare instructions for your treatment.
For other insect problems, see our pest control services.
How should I prepare for carpet moth treatment?
Preparation depends on the affected rooms and the proposed treatment. Warren will provide written instructions about access, moving items, cleaning and protecting belongings. Follow those instructions before and after each visit, and tell us if you cannot complete any of the preparation.
Will moth treatment need follow-up visits?
The number and timing of visits depend on the findings and the treatment programme. Warren will explain the proposed follow-up arrangements, how progress will be checked and what you need to do between visits.
