Braintree Moth Control

Moths are a prevalent sort of pest insect in the UK. There are two major kinds of moths: carpet or clothes moths and stored product moths. Carpet or clothes moths feed on natural materials such as wool or silk. They prefer to stay in dark areas such as wardrobes or undisturbed regions of carpets like below beds. Stored product moths will infest stored food products such as flour. There are many different kinds of moths that cause these infestations, so identification is crucial to pick the best treatment. Few moths in the United Kingdom are dangerous to people, however they can damage property.

Clothes moths can cause serious harm to clothes that are stored away, including sentimental items such as wedding dresses. The adult moths do not cause any destruction, the larvae eat the natural fibres. Adult female moths lay eggs on the clothes and as they hatch the larvae will eat the surrounding fabric. Moths breed quickly so a small infestation will quickly worsen. Stored product moths will lay eggs in food products that they can access.

Successful moth pest control will change depending on the species of moth that is causing the infestation. Clothes moths can be difficult to get rid of. Regularly cleaning stored clothes at high temperatures and dusting the areas where they are stored will help to get rid of areas where moths can live and breed. Professional 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 inform you of specific options for removing pests from fragile items such as wedding dresses.
