In the UK, there are two types of moths that are classed as pests: Trichophaga tapetzella, the tapestry moth or carpet moth, and the common clothes moth.
Both species are known to eat natural fibres, but they can also contaminate grains and dried foods. Despite their names, both types of moths will eat almost any natural fabrics, including wool, fur, cashmere, silk and others.
As such, finding moths in your home or business can quickly become expensive. They can irreparably damage your soft furnishings or clothing and can slide through small cracks in wardrobes and cupboards to reach a food source.
Their voracious appetites mean that moths can quickly cause extensive damage, especially to businesses with a lot of stock or large homes.

The Problems Moths Can Cause
Moths might seem like harmless fluttering insects, similar to their relatives, butterflies, and in fact, most moth species are relatively harmless. There are thousands of types of moths that do not cause harm to humans.
With that being said, carpet moths and clothes moths are considered pests in the UK because they eat fabrics and dried foods. As such, they can cause major issues for homeowners and business leaders.
Adult moths eat natural fibres and grains, but their larvae eat more and can cause major issues. They can quickly eat holes in carpets, curtains, soft furnishings, and other fabrics.
Moths and their larvae can also contaminate food products, making them unsuitable for human consumption.
A female moth can lay as many as a thousand eggs at a time, so what starts as a small infestation can quickly become a major moth problem.
As such, you need to act fast. Contact us today to book your moth control visit and get rid of moths for good.

If you’ve noticed holes in your fabrics, contaminated food products, moth eggs, dead moths or an increase in live moths, then you could have an infestation on your hands.
While you might think you can handle the problem yourself, it can be difficult and time-consuming to remove moths yourself.
Often, you won’t get rid of all the moth eggs and larvae, which means that you’ll find more moths appearing after a few days.
With a professional moth treatment from PestEvo, you can rest assured that your moth infestation is taken care of.
We use a residual insecticide treatment only available to professional pest controllers.
These solutions are safe for pets and kids but will remove moths that hatch after the treatment is carried out.
