Residential And Commerical Moth Control Services
Quick Overview of Moth Pest Control
Moth infestations can damage clothing, carpets, rugs, furniture, and stored food. Clothes moths, carpet moths, and Indian meal moths hide in dark areas, wardrobes, drawers, cupboards, and storage areas. Adult moths and larvae feed on natural fibres like wool, silk, and fur, or pantry items such as grains, rice, and cereals.
Early intervention with professional moth control prevents eggs from hatching, stopping the infestation from spreading. A1 Pest Control offers safe, highly effective carpet moth treatment, using British Standard approved methods and moth killer products to eliminate pests at all life cycle stages.
How Moth Control Service Works
Our step-by-step process ensures complete eradication of all the moths hiding in your home or business:
Detection & Inspection
Our experts inspect wardrobes, drawers, carpets, rugs, furniture, and pantry items for adult moths, larvae, and eggs. Early detection prevents a moth infestation and allows us to determine the most effective moth treatment, protecting clothing, fabrics, and stored food.
Treatment & Extermination
We provide targeted carpet moth control using heat, sprays, moth killer products, or diatomaceous earth. Clothing, wool, silk, carpets, rugs, and pantry items are treated or stored safely. Bedding and linens are hot washed or tumble dried for effective, eco-friendly results.
Follow-Up & Monitoring
After treatment, we check for remaining moths, larvae, or eggs, treating areas where pests may still hide. Ongoing advice on cleaning, vacuuming, and preventive measures ensures your home or business stays moth-free and protected long-term.
Prevention & Advice
Use protective covers for clothing, carpets, and furniture, seal cracks and crevices, and maintain dry storage areas. Inspect second-hand items and monitor for moth activity, such as flying moths, larvae, or holes, relying on professional pest control for lasting results.
Signs of a Moth Infestation
Recognising moth activity early helps prevent severe infestations:
✔ Holes or damage to clothes, carpets, rugs, and furniture
✔ Adult moths flying around rooms or lights
✔ Visible larvae or cocoons on fabrics or pantry products
✔ Webbing or silken cases in drawers, wardrobes, or cupboards
✔ Female moths laying eggs that hatch into larvae, continuing the infestation
