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.
What's The Best Way To Get Rid Of Moths?
The most effective way to eliminate moths is to work with a professional pest control provider like Essex Pest Proof. Our expert pest technicians have experience dealing with pantry, carpet and clothes moths, and can quickly help you remove moths at all life cycle stages. We have access to moth treatment products that aren’t available to the general public, and can combine them with innovative methods to remove moths and protect your property from future infestations.
