Thorneywood has older terraces and later houses side by side. Whichever you live in, moth larvae look for the same thing: fibres left undisturbed.
A pair of wool curtains that have hung unwashed for years can feed larvae just as well as a wardrobe full of jumpers. Around Thorney Wood, east of the centre and close to Sneinton, homes range from Victorian terraces to later builds, and each has its own hiding places: bedroom alcoves in the older houses, built-in wardrobes and fitted carpets in the newer ones.
We check curtains, carpets, wardrobes and soft furnishings, confirm the type of moth, and treat the affected areas. We explain how to clean what can be saved and how to reduce the chance of a return. Visits can be arranged to suit you, and we give free advice with all treatments. How long a problem takes to resolve depends on how far the larvae have spread.
Pure synthetics are not their usual food, but larvae can damage blends containing wool and may chew synthetic items when they are soiled or pressed against infested fibres. Eggs are tiny and hard to see, which is why thorough cleaning of affected items matters.
Adult moths already present may continue to appear for a while as pupae develop. The aim is to remove the larvae and breeding sites, so numbers fall over time. The pace depends on the extent of the problem.
They mostly target natural fibres such as wool, silk and fur, particularly if items are soiled or stored undisturbed.
