How to get rid of Moths?

Regular vacuuming including moving furniture and inside cupboards will collect the moth larvae and eggs. Make sure to empty the hoover bag frequently and double bag it before placing in an outside bin. Hot washing fabrics and furniture will help to kill eggs and larvae too. If you have seen the signs of textile moths or larvae, then a professional treatment for clothes moths is the best way to get rid of them quickly and effectively.

Highly recommend. I contacted James at Eraserpest late on Friday evening and within 30 mins we had arranged a booking for the following morning to remove a wasp nest. Prompt, efficient, professional, helpful service that enabled me to enjoy the garden again almost immediately.

I had found a wasps nest in under my suspended floor. The wasps were gaining entry via an airbrick vent. Eraserpest Pest Control professionally applied an insect repellant through the air brick which had killed off the all wasps by the same evening.
I was most impressed with the prompt timing, they arrived when they said they would and an invoice system so you don't have to pay there and then. The best bit there are no more wasps.

I had a mouse infestation in my loft. James came out and sorted the issue I am now clear of. The issue for me had three visits. He was very polite, friendly and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone if you have an issue. He knows exactly what he's talking about. I'm very respectful as well

Knowing you have bed bugs in your home is a stressful and unsettling feeling and I straight away took action - jumping on to google and doing what I could myself. Great first step but you can’t underestimate these little intelligent bugs. So I contact Eraserpest and had a great chat with James. He was fab on the phone with explaining what happens and was happy to answer my endless questions. So I booked them in and Mark came to do the job. Again great guy who answered all the questions I had and got on with the job in hand.

They treat the bugs with both steam (bed bugs die with high heat contact) and also a chemical. So double trouble for the little bitters.

Although it is only 2 days after the first treatment I am hopeful as we only had a very small gathering of them.

Would highly recommend Eraserpest for any pest control situation you may have. Professional, clean, good communication and friendly.

Thank you for your help!

Helpful information on Moths

There are 3 main moth species found in the UK that are the cause for the damage to your clothes, fabrics and carpets.

Common Clothes Moth (Tineola Bisselliella)

Common clothes moths can also be known as webbing clothes moths or just clothes moths. They are between 9-16mm long and small pale golden-brown colour. If you look up closely it has reddish hairs on its head too. It is the larvae that will eat clothes of carpets or any other natural materials. The female will lay her eggs close to the feed source and once hatched the larvae feed for at least 2 months. Clothes moth larvae are a creamy white colour with a brown head. After feeding then will then pupate for 1-2 months before emerging as adults.

Carpet Moths (Trichophaga Tapetzella)

Carpet moths can also be known as tapestry moths. Carpet moths are buff coloured, and the adults are between 12-14mm long. The larvae feed the keratin found in natural fibres and can take on the colour of the fabric they have been feeding on. The adult moths live 2-3 months, but females can lay up to 200 eggs in dark, quiet undisturbed areas. Carpet moth larvae can live for 2 years feeding from fabrics and can even feed from the wool blended with man-made fabrics.

Case Bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea Pellionella)

Case bearing clothes moths are a pale silver-brown colour with dark spots. They are between 7-11mm long. The larvae are approximately 10mm long and cream in colour. They will feed on wool, fur, feathers and hair and make themselves a portable cocoon from these fibres. The larval stage lasts up to 3 months before they spin the cocoon to pupate in. The case bearing clothes moths can live in outbuildings and birds’ nests as well as inside.

If you have a moth problem and want to protect your home or business against the damage moths can bring then be sure to contact Eraserpest who will advise you on the best treatment.
