Moth Control in London — Clothes and Carpet Moths

Signs you have moths

Signs of moths include small irregular holes in wool clothing or carpets, bald patches at carpet edges, and small beige moths that flutter rather than fly.

• Small holes in wool, cashmere and silk.
• Bare patches under furniture and along carpet edges.
• Silken tubes or cases (larvae) in wardrobes.
• Small golden-beige moths that avoid light.

Why moths are a problem

Moths do not harm people, but their larvae can ruin expensive clothing, carpets, rugs and upholstery.

• Damage to clothing, carpets and upholstery.
• Infestations spread between wardrobes and rooms.
