Fast Moth Pest Control Treatment To Protect Your Property
Moths might seem harmless, but they can be incredibly destructive. While adult moths are the most commonly noticed, it is the moth larvae that have the biggest appetites and will eat almost all natural fibres.
In the UK, the main species of pest moths are Case-Bearing Clothes moths and Common Clothes moths. The common clothes moth is often known as the carpet moth, as they eat carpets as well as clothing. Indian Meal Moths, also called Pantry Moths, can also be found in the UK, but they are rarer, especially in homes, as they usually prefer large sources of dried food.
Whether it’s carpets, curtains, clothes, or soft furnishings, moth larvae can leave gaping holes throughout your home. Once they’ve found a food source and started reproducing, it can be incredibly difficult to get rid of moths.

The Threat Moths Can Pose To Homes And Businesses Throughout Edinburgh
While Common Clothes Moths do not pose any real risk to public health, they can cause unsightly holes, thus ruining expensive clothes, carpets and even sofas. Moths thrive in warm and dark environments, therefore wardrobes, drawers and insulated lofts make the ideal habitat.
Clothes moth larvae can chew anything made of organic fibres, and it is usually only when you see the damage that you realise you have a moth problem. Moths prefer natural fibres, such as cotton, wool, cashmere, fur, and silk, all of which can be expensive to repair. Some species of moths, such as pantry moths, can even eat dried foods such as rice or grains, which can contaminate the food and make it unusable.
Moths can be incredibly irritating and make your home feel unclean, as you might find dead adults or discarded wings throughout your space.
Businesses can face even more serious issues with a moth infestation, as they can be closed down by the local authorities for health and safety violations. Any pest infestation can also damage the reputation you’ve worked hard to build.
Thankfully, EES provides domestic and commercial pest control services for all common insect pests, including moths. We can also help you remove ants, bed bugs, fleas and other bugs. To find out more call us on 0131 560 6441.
How EES Gets Rid Of Moths
As small, winged insects, moths can be difficult to remove. Moth larvae often burrow deep into fabrics, so without the right techniques and equipment it can be impossible to fully eradicate your moth problem.
That’s why professional moth control is recommended for any moth infestation. EES has the skills needed to inspect your property thoroughly and then carry out proven, effective treatment methods such as insecticides and pheromone lure traps.
Our experts can also advise you on tasks you can carry out yourself, including washing your fabrics, such as rugs, curtains and clothing (even items not worn regularly and kept in storage), to ensure the infestation is completely gone. Additionally, cleaning furniture can also be beneficial in removing eggs and larvae that may be hidden in folds and crevices.
With our moth control treatments and ongoing advice, you can ensure that your Clothes Moth infestation is completely gone and reduce the chances of future issues. As RSPH Level 2 certified pest controllers, we’re able to access equipment and insecticides that cannot be purchased by the general public, meaning EES can provide a fast, cost-effective solution for moth infestations.
As soon as you notice signs of moth activity, you need to act fast to reduce the spread of the infestation and limit the costly damage that moths can cause to your home and belongings. Moths are persistent pests, and aren’t easy to remove without professional help, so call 0131 560 6441 today.
