Common Signs of Moths

Damage to clothing

Small holes in wool, silk, cashmere, and natural fibres.

Larvae or webbing

Fine webbing, cocoons, or tiny larvae in wardrobes or carpet edges.

Small moths indoors

Often seen near lights or resting on walls in quiet rooms.

Pantry moth clues

Webbing in dry goods (flour, rice, cereal) and moths near cupboards.

Tip: Adult moths are usually not the main problem—larvae cause most damage. That’s why treatment must target the lifecycle.

Prevention Tips

Clothing & wardrobes

  • Wash/dry-clean vulnerable items before storage
  • Store in sealed garment bags/containers
  • Vacuum wardrobe floors and corners regularly
  • Reduce clutter and improve airflow

Carpets & soft furnishings

  • Vacuum edges/skirting and under furniture
  • Reduce dust and pet hair build-up
  • Address dampness or humidity issues
  • Monitor quiet rooms and storage areas

Pantry & dry goods

  • Discard infested dry goods safely
  • Wipe shelves and inspect corners
  • Use sealed containers for flour/rice/cereal

Moth Treatment FAQs

Quick answers about moth control. Visit the full FAQ page.

Do moths damage clothes or do larvae?

Most damage is caused by larvae feeding on natural fibres. Adults are often just a sign of an established lifecycle.

How do I know if it’s pantry moths?

Pantry moths are often seen around cupboards and lights, with webbing in dry goods like flour, rice, cereal, or pet food.

Will one treatment be enough?

It depends on severity and source. We target hotspots and provide prevention steps—follow-through on cleaning/storage is important.

Is moth treatment safe for kids and pets?

We’ll provide safety instructions (drying/ventilation/exclusion as needed). Mention pets, kids, allergies, or sensitivities when booking.

What’s the best way to prevent moths?

Seal and clean storage areas, keep textiles clean before storing, reduce dust build-up, and use sealed containers for pantry items.
