PROFESSIONAL MOTH CONTROL IN HAMPSHIRE
Moth Control for Carpets, Clothing and Furnishings
Protect your home and belongings from moth damage. We identify the source, treat active infestations and help prevent them returning using safe, effective and discreet methods.
Moths indoors
Repeated sightings of small moths, particularly in quiet or undisturbed rooms.
Damage to textiles
Worn patches or holes in wool carpets, rugs, clothing or upholstery.
Hidden activity
Webbing, cases or larvae along carpet edges, beneath furniture or in stored textiles.
It is the larvae that damage natural fibres. An adult moth sighting alone does not show where the breeding source is. Similar damage can also come from other textile pests, so identification matters.
A practical treatment plan
How our moth treatment works
We investigate the activity, address affected areas and explain how to reduce the risk of further damage.
1Inspect and identify
We check reported damage and likely harbourage areas, including carpet edges, beneath furniture and stored textiles.
2Remove activity
Thorough vacuuming targets accessible larvae, eggs and debris, particularly along wall and floor junctions and beneath furniture.
3Treat where suitable
We may recommend targeted insecticide or steam treatment, depending on the material, location and extent of activity.
4Monitor and advise
Small pheromone traps help track adult moth activity. We explain what to inspect, clean and monitor after treatment.
Attention to hidden areas
More than the open carpet
Carpet edges, stairwells, hallways, bedrooms and areas beneath furniture all deserve attention. We focus on the places where textile pests can remain undisturbed.
Treatment images are illustrative.
What can you do?
Vacuum carpet edges and beneath movable furniture regularly. Inspect woollen clothing, rugs and stored textiles for activity, and store clean, unaffected items in suitable sealed containers.
After treatment, follow the specific cleaning and access advice we give you, including any period when treated areas should not be vacuumed.
Moth treatment costs
The price depends on the rooms affected, the level of furnishing, access to harbourage areas and the treatment required.
Tell us where you have seen moths or damage and send photographs where possible. We can advise on the next step and provide a quote after assessing the work.
Preparation, treatment and any recommended follow-up will be explained before work is agreed.
Payment options
We accept cash, card, cheque or bank transfer.
Bank transfer is our preferred payment method.
Frequently asked questions
Is one treatment enough?
Not usually. Established textile moth infestations can require several treatments over time, sometimes spread across several years. The number and timing depend on how severe the activity is and how long it has been present in the property.
Will one treatment get rid of every moth?
The outcome depends on finding and addressing the sources of activity. Eggs or larvae in inaccessible or untreated items can lead to further sightings, so monitoring or another visit may be recommended.
Do you treat clothing and bedding?
These are assessed separately from fitted carpets. We explain which items you should inspect or clean and where professional treatment is suitable.
Are treatments suitable around children and pets?
We assess the property and explain any preparation, temporary exclusion and re-entry requirements. Children and pets must stay out of treatment areas for the period specified in your instructions.
Why are moths found beneath furniture?
These areas are often dark and seldom disturbed, making them useful places to check for textile pest activity.
