Issues Caused By A Moth Infestation
Moths might look a lot like butterflies, but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless. Carpet moths can cause serious damage to natural fabrics, such as carpets, clothing, curtains, and other soft furniture throughout your space.
Other moth species, such as pantry moths, eat dried foods, and are a type of stored product insect pest. Their larvae are the most destructive, and will eat almost constantly until they are ready to pupate and morph into adults.
At Essex Pest Proof, we have the skills needed to provide effective control for the whole cycle. We can treat any infested area or item, and ensure that the moths are fully eradicated. If you’re ready to call in the Viking and banish moths from your kingdom, call 07505 506 790.

Moth Control FAQs
What Do Moths Eat?
Each moth species is different, but the common clothes moth, the most prevalent pest moth species in the UK, eats natural fabrics, including silk, wool, velvet, leather and others. Indian meal moths, also known as pantry moths, eat dried foods such as grains, pasta, rice and flour.
Why Are There Moths In Your House?
Moths will enter through open doors or windows, and once inside, they will look for a reliable food source. If they find natural fibres or unsecured dried foods, they will make themselves at home and start to breed.
What Is The Moth Life Cycle?
The moth life cycle involves 4 stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (cocoon), and adult moths. While most DIY moth control products kill adult moths, they are usually ineffective against the other 3 stages. It is at the larval stage that moths are the most destructive, as they need a lot of protein to build their cocoon. Essex Pest Proof can eradicate moths at all life cycle stages.
How Can You Tell If You Have A Moth Infestation?
Seeing a few adult moths doesn’t necessarily mean you have a moth problem. Instead, look for signs such as bare patches on carpets, holes in clothes, silk tunnels, larvae, moth eggs or a strong musty smell. If you’re unsure if you have a moth infestation, contact Essex Pest Proof to discuss your pest problem and how we can help you fix it.
