The clothes moths can enter your home in various ways. By hitchhiking on another person or their luggage, often on second-hand clothing or other household items, you can get them from buying something at a car boot sale. And it only takes one pregnant moth to lay up to 300 eggs in your home.

The Danger For Your Home and Health

Moths don’t pose any actual danger to your health, but can eat fabrics, such as silk and wool. And while they won’t eat mixed or synthetic fabrics, they can be very bothersome. The can eat carpets, curtains, clothing and leave holes in them, which means getting rid of everything damaged. Pantry moths will attack food which is also to be thrown away after that.

We have expert pest controllers who excel in carpet moth treatment and clothes moths extermination in particular, and in carpet beetle elimination

How We Perform Moth Extermination

The moths removal expert will perform a full property inspection before starting the moth treatment, ensuring every area is checked. We remove clothes, carpet moths as well as wool moths.

The moth exterminator will then proceed with spraying floors, curtains, cupboards, wardrobes and skirting boards with moth insecticide. He will not spray directly on your clothes. You can book a separate property fumigation service which is used as a preventive method against future infestations for moths and other insects as well.

Our full moth control service has an additional 3-month period during which you can request up to two free follow-up visits, if needed. Another effective method to exterminate moths completely is to use heat treatment.

Panther Pest Control can also advise you on how to do an effective moth prevention that will protect your home or office from moths in the future. We recommend leaving the moth insecticide to work for at least 5 days before cleaning the treated areas.

2. Moths avoid direct light, therefore they usually infest items, which are stored in dark places and are not moved very often.

3. The common larvae of the Clothing Moth can easily devour up to 12 cm of fabric per minute.

4. The eggs of a female moth are stored within her body. Once the male’s sperm has successfully fertilised them, the female can proceed to lay the eggs. A single female moth can lay more than 100 eggs at once.

5. Moths fly at night to avoid birds. Their navigation source is moonlight.
