Our safe, reliable, and industry-approved moth extermination methods will eliminate all pests. Depending on the scope of moth infestation, we can guarantee total eradication after one or two treatments.

Moth infestations are common in many residential and business properties across London.
Some moth species target all kinds of upholstery, rugs, and clothing, including valuable items like cashmere and furs. Other pests, like the pantry moth, infest kitchens and pantries and contaminate food supplies, even those in sealed packaging. If you suspect a moth infestation, don’t hesitate to call Toxic Respond. We are experts in providing fast, efficient, and safe moth control solutions for your home or business in London.

Like most insects, moths reproduce quickly, especially when provided with suitable breeding conditions. Therefore, it’s crucial to address a moth infestation promptly upon noticing the first signs. Attempting to deal with moths independently can be stressful, often ineffective, and may worsen the problem. If you want to eliminate these pests and prevent re-infestations effectively, don’t hesitate to contact our experienced moth exterminators. Here are a few reasons why hiring professional moth control is the best approach to handling moth infestations:

• Species Identification: Our exterminators can accurately identify the specific moth species present and recommend the most effective treatment for each type.
• Targeted Treatments: Our technicians are well-acquainted with moth habits and hiding places, so they can apply the most suitable moth treatment methods and eliminate the guesswork.

• Professional-Grade Products: Our exterminators utilise safe but highly effective pesticides registered and approved for use. Our technicians are experts in the safe application and handling of these products, minimising potential risks to humans, pets, and the environment.
• Thorough Inspections: Our team conducts meticulous inspections to pinpoint the source and extent of the moth infestation, including identifying hidden breeding areas. Our approach ensures that no part of your property is overlooked and that the problem will be fully addressed.
• Advanced Treatment Techniques: Our professionals employ various techniques, such as moth steam treatments, fumigation, to ensure effective moth elimination.

At Toxic Respond, we focus on the complete eradication of moth infestations. Our moth control treatments employ a combination of methods, including effective steam or fumigation techniques. After the initial inspection, you will receive a detailed explanation of the entire extermination process.

We offer several treatment methods tailored to your specific needs:

• Steam Treatment: Our powerful steam treatment eliminates all moth larvae and eggs by exposing them to temperatures of 180°C. This method is safe for your furnishings and furniture.
• Fumigation / ULV Cold Fogging: At Toxic Respond, we employ insecticides that are officially approved for domestic and business treatment.
  While insecticides effectively eliminate adult moths, their eggs and larvae may require more persistent treatment. Therefore, multiple treatments may be necessary to ensure complete eradication.

Our experts will carefully assess your infestation during the initial on-site inspection and provide personalised advice on the most effective treatment plan.

When dealing with a home moth infestation, relying solely on over-the-counter, non-professional products may prove ineffective and potentially dangerous for residents and pets. These products often lack the strength and precision of professional heat treatments and chemical treatments.

While the UK is home to over 2,500 moth species, the ones infesting our properties fall into three main groups based on their preferred food sources: clothes, carpets, and pantry moths.

Signs of a Clothes and Carpet Moth Infestation:

• Visible moths: Observing flying or crawling moths within your home.
• Larvae, maggots, and silken cocoons: Finding any of these in infested areas.
• Damage to fabrics: Discovering tiny holes in clothing, carpets, curtains, or other textiles.

Signs of Pantry Moth infestation

• Small, brown moths: Observing tiny, brown moths fluttering around your kitchen.
• Webbing and silk: Finding webbing and silk-like threads in and around food storage areas.
• Live or dead moths in food: Discovering live or dead moths within food containers or packages.
• Presence of larvae or pupae: Finding small, white or cream-coloured larvae or pupae in or around food.

It’s crucial to initiate moth removal procedures when you suspect an infestation.

White-shouldered moths are a common pest encountered in many London homes. As these moths do not feed as adults, controlling their larvae is crucial. Effective moth treatment often involves spraying or fumigation. Thoroughly spraying all carpeted surfaces and upholstered furniture is essential for complete eradication.

Adult clothes moths are harmless and do not cause any damage as they primarily feed on flower nectar. However, their larvae can significantly damage clothing and upholstery. Professional spraying is the most effective method for eliminating clothes moth infestations.

Brown house moths are a common pest in London. Easily recognisable, adult moths have a brown body with three or four darker spots, typically measuring up to 14mm in length. Brown house moth larvae prefer fabrics of animal origin, such as wool and fur. They can damage clothing and other textiles.

Casemaking Moths are a common household pest famous for the unique, portable cases their larvae construct. These tiny, grey-brown moths are often overlooked. Still, their larvae can seriously damage natural fibres like wool, fur, and feathers. Cold fumigation is usually the most effective pest control method for casemaking moths.

Q: What could attract moths inside my home?

A: Clothes moths are primarily attracted to natural fibres like silk, fur, wool, and other textiles. Leaving food items uncovered can attract pantry moths, brown house moths and white-shouldered house moths.

Q: How do I know if I am dealing with a clothes moth infestation?

A: If you notice unexplainable holes in textile surfaces and clothes, your house is likely infested with clothes moths. You could also notice silk cocoons lying inside cabinets and drawers.

Q: Can a clothes moth treatment appointment be rescheduled?

A: Yes, absolutely. We understand that plans can change, and we’re happy to reschedule your appointment at your convenience.

Q: What should I do if I find clothes moth larvae in my home?

A: Immediately vacuum all surfaces, including carpets, furniture, and floors. Dispose of the vacuum bag outside of the property to prevent the spread of larvae.

Q: How can I prevent pantry moths from infesting my home?

A: Frequent vacuuming helps remove moth eggs and larvae. Storing all food items in airtight containers prevents access for pantry moths. Maintaining a clean and tidy home minimises potential hiding places for moths.
