Older city buildings with cellars, cupboards and rarely moved furniture give clothes moths plenty of quiet places to breed. We find the source and treat it.
Nottingham has a lot of Victorian terraces, student houses and older buildings with basements, and that mix suits clothes moths well. Larvae feed on wool, silk, fur and feathers in places nobody disturbs: the back of a wardrobe, under a bed, behind a sofa, along a carpet edge. The small pale moths you see fluttering are usually adults, which do not eat fabric themselves but show that a breeding source is nearby.
A visit starts with identifying the moth, because clothes moths and carpet moths are managed differently. We look in the likely feeding spots, treat affected carpets and wardrobes, and talk through washing, freezing or cleaning of items worth saving. We have been in the business since 1995 and offer free advice with all treatments. How long it takes to clear depends on how widespread the larvae are.
Early spring is a good time, when winter clothes come out and you can see holes, silky cases or droppings. Warm centrally heated rooms let larvae feed through the year, so a check at any season is sensible if you spot adult moths.
Either. Larvae can arrive on second-hand clothes, rugs or furniture, or live in old nesting debris and lint. Inspection works out where they are feeding, which decides whether treating the room, the items or both is needed.
They mostly target natural fibres such as wool, silk and fur, particularly if items are soiled or stored undisturbed.
