Radford grew up around lace and textile work, and its dense terraces still hold plenty of wool rugs, blankets and stored clothing that moth larvae like.
Dense Victorian terraces mean shared walls, narrow rooms and wardrobes pushed against external walls, often left undisturbed for months. Those are the conditions moth larvae favour. A family heirloom blanket in a chest, a wool rug under a settee or a bag of old coats in the back bedroom can sustain a population for a long time before anyone notices a hole.
Radford has a textile heritage, but moths in a modern home have nothing to do with that. They simply follow food: natural fibres, hair, lint and dust. We inspect for cases, webbing and droppings, treat the carpets and storage areas affected, and explain how to launder or freeze belongings. Our pricing is fixed and there is no call-out charge, so you know where you stand.
Adult moths can fly or be carried on belongings, but they usually stay within the household they breed in. Next-door moths are possible if items move between homes, so tell neighbours rather than assume it is theirs.
Hot washing as the care label allows, or freezing sealed items for a sustained period, usually kills larvae and eggs. Delicate pieces can be dry cleaned. We advise on what suits each item as part of the visit.
They mostly target natural fibres such as wool, silk and fur, particularly if items are soiled or stored undisturbed.
