First the good news: moths aren’t a health risk. Now the bad news: they can cause unsightly damage to clothes, carpets and other materials in your home. Take action as soon as you see the tell-tale holes, or spot small maggot-like larvae or silk cocoons. If not eradicated, moth infestations can grow quickly.
If you have spotted moths, larvae, webbing, or unexplained holes in your fabrics or carpets, it is important to act quickly to limit the damage to your property.
Please Note: While these practical steps will significantly reduce the number of larvae and eggs in your home, they rarely eliminate a deep-seated infestation completely. For a permanent solution, professional targeted treatments are often required.
Carpet moth larvae can remain hidden for months or even years, slowly feeding on natural fibres in quiet, rarely disturbed parts of your home.
Our experts can recognise the type of moth that is causing your problem. They’ll then use the most effective method to get rid of them, such as a spray, fumigation or heat treatment.
We can offer an effective chemical-free ‘heat pod’ treatment. This is particularly useful for getting rid of moths, eggs and larvae in delicate items that can’t be laundered.

The fastest way is to target eggs, larvae, and adults all at once. Immediately empty the area, wash all fabrics at 60°C or have them dry-cleaned, and vacuum every corner thoroughly. For an instant fix, professional solutions like our chemical-free Heat Pod treatments completely destroy moths and larvae in a single session.
Moths are naturally repelled by strong scents like lavender, cedarwood, cloves, and rosemary. Placing these herbs or essential oils in your wardrobe will deter adult moths from settling. However, while these smells prevent new infestations, they will not kill eggs or larvae that are already there.
Moths are killed by extreme temperatures and targeted treatments. Washing fabrics at 60°C, freezing delicate items for a few days, or using professional-grade residual sprays will eliminate them. Professionals also use pheromone traps to disrupt their mating cycle and stop them from multiplying.
For individual flying moths, an aerosol fly and wasp spray provides immediate contact elimination. To continuously catch adult moths without chemicals, hanging pheromone glue traps will safely attract and trap them on a sticky surface.
Place pheromone sticky traps in different rooms and wardrobes to see where the most moths are caught. Once you find the high-activity area, do a deep clean by pulling out heavy furniture, vacuuming along all skirting boards, and checking dark, undisturbed storage spaces where natural fibres like wool or silk are kept.
Without proper treatment, a moth infestation can last indefinitely. While adult moths only live for a few weeks, their hidden larvae can continuously feed on your carpets and clothes for up to two years. The population will keep multiplying until the resilient eggs and larvae are completely destroyed.
