Get Moth Control estimate today!
Moths are a common sort of pest insect in the UK. There are two major types of moths: carpet or clothes moths and stored product moths. Carpet or clothes moths feed on organic materials such as wool or silk. They prefer to make their homes in dark areas such as wardrobes or undisturbed areas of carpets like beneath beds. Stored product moths will infest stored foods such as flour. There are numerous different species of moths that cause these infestations, so identification is essential to decide on the best treatment. Few moths in the UK are dangerous to people, however they can damage property.
Clothes moths can cause serious damage to clothes that are stored away, including sentimental items such as wedding gowns. The adult moths do not cause any harm, the larvae eat the organic fibres. Adult female moths lay eggs on the clothes and as they hatch the larvae will eat the nearby fabric. Moths breed quickly so a small infestation will quickly worsen. Stored product moths will lay eggs in foods that they can access.
Successful moth pest control will vary depending on the species of moth that is causing the infestation. Clothes moths can be difficult to eliminate. Routinely cleaning stored clothes at high temperatures and dusting the areas where they are stored will help to eliminate locations where moths can live and breed. Qualified pest control companies can fumigate the location using chemicals or use a heat control technique to raise the temperature in a contained area and kill the moths. They’ll also be able to advise you of specific techniques for getting rid of pests from sensitive items such as wedding dresses.
