Moth Pest Control

Clothes and carpet moths damage natural fabrics such as wool and cotton. Pantry moths contaminate stored food and are commonly found in kitchen cupboards and larders. In both cases the larvae cause the damage - not the adults - which is why early treatment matters.

JG Pest Control offer two eradication methods: a chemical-based treatment and a non-toxic heat treatment. Our service is guaranteed - if the problem persists we revisit free of charge.

How Do I Know I Have a Moth Problem?

Fabric DamageHoles or worn patches in wools, cottons, carpets and natural-fibre clothing - typically caused by larvae rather than adults.
Adult SightingsCommon clothes moths are 5-7mm and yellowish-brown. Pantry moths are around 10mm and darker in colour.
Pantry ContaminationWebbing, larvae or droppings in stored grains, flour, cereals or pet food in kitchen cupboards and larders.
Larval CasingsSmall silken tubes or cocoons on fabrics, skirting boards or in dark corners of wardrobes.
Flying Adults at DuskMoths flying erratically around lights or fluttering out of cupboards when disturbed.
Eggs on FabricTiny pale eggs laid on natural-fibre items, often in folds, seams or the underside of carpets.
