Moth Pest Control in London
Effective Moth Removal You Can Trust
Moths love dark enclosed spaces, like your wardrobes and drawers but can also leave their larva (eggs) in carpets and soft furnishings. They are pests that are notorious for destroying clothes, furniture, carpets and curtains. In fact, their larva can thrive on any fibrous material – wool, cotton, angora, furs and your favourite cashmere!
Moths come in various colours and shades; as well as being extremely annoying when flying around, if left uncontrolled, they will breed fast. As well as feasting on your clothes and soft furnishings, they also love your kitchen cupboards. If you’ve got a problem with moths, it’s time to call in the professionals to remove them for good.
What are the signs of having moths?
Apart from seeing them flying around – they do not like to be exposed to light – you may find moth eggs on your clothes, on soft furnishings and on your clothes. There are four stages to a moth’s life:
– Egg
– Larva
– Pupa
– Adult
Although the adult moth’s lifespan is about 4 weeks, in that time female moths will have been constantly laying eggs. In the right conditions, a month later the eggs hatch. They are easy to identify from their dark head and cream-coloured body; they are very small, measuring about quarter of an inch in size. This is what makes them hard to see and how they are missed.
Signs of moths to look out for:
It’s not easy to see moths due to their small size but there are other signs you can look out for which indicate you may have a moth problem:
– Damage to clothes, upholstery, curtains and carpets
– Bits of loose fibrous material sitting on shelves in wardrobes and closets
– Chipping along carpets or rugs
– Larvae in flour or small moths on the inside wall of kitchen cupboards
