Are DIY Moth Control Products Effective?

- Fail to reach eggs and larvae

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
