We offer fast, effective, and safe moth control services across Scunthorpe, Hull, Grimsby, and North Lincolnshire, supporting homeowners and commercial clients with reliable pest solutions.
Most moths in the UK are harmless, but a few species are destructive pests, particularly:
Clothes Moths (including case-bearing and carpet moths)
Pantry Moths (like Indian meal moths)
These pests feed on natural fibres or dried food products, contaminating cupboards, chewing through clothing, carpets, curtains, and other soft furnishings.
The Destructive Life Cycle of Moths
Many people only notice adult moths, but the real damage is done during the larval stage. Moth larvae feed constantly on protein-rich materials like wool, silk, cotton, and grains in your cupboards.
Moths move through four life stages:
Egg
Larva (caterpillar)
Pupa (cocoon)
Adult
Because larvae are the most destructive, it’s vital to treat an infestation across all life cycle stages—not just kill the flying adults.
Signs of a Moth Infestation
If you think you might have moths in your home or business, look out for these common warning signs:
Holes in Fabrics – Uneven damage to clothing, carpets or upholstery
Silk Tunnels or Webbing – Found on clothes or in dark corners
White Larvae or Eggs – Tiny but often found in clusters
Adult Moths – Especially around wardrobes, carpets or dry goods
Itchy Skin or Allergies – From contact with moth hairs or droppings
Why DIY Moth Treatments Don’t Work
Many over-the-counter products don’t penetrate deep into fibres or reach hidden larvae. Plus, DIY moth sprays can be ineffective and even hazardous—especially for pets, children, or those with allergies.
To get rid of moths for good, you need professional-grade insecticides and the knowledge to apply them safely and effectively.
