Our London pest control team manages a wide variety of pest issues, including wasp nest removal services, solutions for pest birds, and more. If you’re dealing with moth problems or any other pest infestation, our accredited experts use specialised methods to get the job done.
In the UK, there are over 2,500 moth species, yet two species are particularly destructive to fabrics: the common clothes moth and the case-bearing clothes moth (Tinea pellionella).
These species tend to inhabit areas such as wardrobes, under furnishings, and less-used places like lofts and basements. Although adults don’t harm textiles, their young larvae consume fibres from wool, silk, and other natural textiles, leading to extensive and often expensive damage.
Our moth removal service in London removes moths with reliable results, keeping your property moth-free. While adult moths don’t cause direct harm, their larvae are the ones to worry about. With our trusted pest experts in London, you’ll have experts who handle both stages, giving you a worry-free environment.
Clothes Moths
There are a large number of moth varieties that feed on fabrics and textiles, but only two are especially widespread: the standard clothes moth and the case-bearing clothes moth.
These moths can be highly damaging, and the associated expenses can increase quickly. Our trusted London moth control team has found that, although these pests can move throughout a home, they tend to prefer quieter areas like the following:
- Wardrobes
- Below furniture pieces
- Storage drawers and shelves
- Loft and cellar areas
It is crucial to keep in mind that moths don’t just damage clothing and furniture. Moths will feed on fabric wherever they find it, and as long as natural fibres are present, there’s a risk of a moth-related issue.
If you suspect moth damage from a case-bearing clothes moth, or any other kind of fabric-eating moth, give us a shout. Our friendly pest control team in London is ready to help.
Brown House Moth
These moths spread everywhere in the home very quickly, even though they only reproduce once a year. When their larvae hatch in autumn, they move quite far before turning into adults.
White-Shouldered House Moths
Although it’s not unheard of for this species to infest homes, they more frequently take over structures outside the main home. This species is capable of consuming fabrics, but they are less likely to do so. Similarly, they create one generation annually.
DIY Moth Remedies
You can find moth insecticides in many large supermarkets, but they can’t stop even small infestations. These sprays may kill a few adults, but any eggs still tucked away throughout your property will go unharmed, meaning the insects can resurface.
Our London-based pest control team has a few tips on preventing moths from taking hold in your home:
- Clothes moths don’t only target clothing! To help prevent infestations, ensure that upholstered furniture is cleaned regularly.
- Vacuum bags can allow moth populations to thrive. To keep populations down, change the bags often and dispose of them outside.
- Fabrics that contain sweat and dirt are very appealing for egg-laying. Be sure to wash them completely before storing them away.
- If you buy antique fabrics or vintage clothing, ensure they are washed before bringing them into your home. Eggs may well be present, ready to infest.

Preventing infestations is much easier than handling them. Without professional assistance, it’s challenging to get rid of these insects entirely. Moths not only hide in out-of-the-way spots, but they’re also tough to fully remove. Thankfully, our friendly London insect control experts are equipped with the right expertise.
