New-build homes are not moth-proof. Larvae usually arrive on belongings, so a recently built house can still develop a problem in a wardrobe.
People moving into a new home sometimes assume moths cannot be a problem there, but the pest comes with the belongings. Boxed clothes, rugs and second-hand furniture from an old house can carry larvae. In Lindhurst, where homes are mostly recently built, moths are likely to have arrived this way, then settled in a fitted wardrobe or a new carpet.
We identify the moth and inspect each wardrobe, carpet edge and piece of furniture. Treatment goes where larvae are feeding, and we advise on laundering what came from the old house. Appointments suit you, with same day visits possible, and advice is free. How long it takes to resolve depends on how many rooms and items the larvae have reached.
The house is new, but belongings are not. Moths and eggs travel on clothes, rugs and furniture, so check items from your previous home before unpacking.
Wash or freeze natural-fibre items before the move, pack in sealed boxes, and inspect second-hand furniture. Unpack and check promptly rather than leaving boxes for months.
They mostly target natural fibres such as wool, silk and fur, particularly if items are soiled or stored undisturbed.

Newly built does not mean moth-free. The holes in a cashmere scarf are made by tiny larvae, and they can arrive in a box from an older home you moved from.
