Professional Moth Control in Bristol & Somerset
Targeted treatment at every life stage with residual textile protection
Clothes moths and carpet moths cause extensive damage to natural textiles. Wool suits, cashmere jumpers, silk garments, antique rugs, and wool carpets can all be destroyed. The damage is caused by moth larvae feeding on natural fibres, often going unnoticed until significant harm has been done.
At Fur & Feather Pest Control, we provide specialist moth treatment across Bristol, North Somerset, and the surrounding areas. Our targeted approach eliminates moths at every life stage including adult, egg, and larvae, and provides residual protection for your valuable textiles.
Moth problems have increased significantly in the UK in recent years, partly due to warmer homes, reduced use of chemical moth deterrents, and the popularity of natural fibre clothing and vintage textiles. Professional treatment is essential once an infestation is established.
Signs of a Moth Infestation
Catch moth damage early to protect your valuable clothing and carpets
Holes in Clothing
Small irregular holes appearing in woollen, silk, and cashmere garments, particularly in dark, undisturbed areas of wardrobes
Adult Moths
Small gold or buff-coloured moths (6-8mm) fluttering weakly near wardrobes, drawers, or in rooms with wool carpets
Larvae
Small white caterpillars (up to 10mm) found in clothing folds, carpet edges, or between layers of stored textiles
Silk Cases
Small silken tubes or cases attached to fabrics, created by case-bearing moth larvae as they feed
Bare Carpet Patches

Moth Prevention Tips
Protect your textiles with these ongoing prevention measures
Clean Before Storing
Always wash or dry-clean garments before storing. Moths are attracted to food stains, sweat, and body oils on fabrics
Use Sealed Storage
Store seasonal clothing in sealed bags or vacuum-pack bags. Garment covers should be zipped and checked regularly
Regular Wardrobe Checks
Inspect stored clothing monthly. Move and shake garments to disturb larvae and check for early damage signs
Vacuum Thoroughly
Vacuum under furniture, along skirting boards, and in wardrobe floors regularly. These are prime moth hiding spots
Cedar and Lavender
Natural deterrents like cedar blocks and lavender bags can help repel adult moths from wardrobes and drawers
Monitor With Traps
Pheromone moth traps catch adult male moths and help you detect infestations early before significant damage occurs
