Moth Pest Control

Clothes and carpet moths damage natural fabrics such as wool and cotton. Pantry moths contaminate stored food and are commonly found in kitchen cupboards and larders. In both cases the larvae cause the damage - not the adults - which is why early treatment matters.

JG Pest Control offer two eradication methods: a chemical-based treatment and a non-toxic heat treatment. Our service is guaranteed - if the problem persists we revisit free of charge.

Carpet and Clothes Moths

The moths you see fluttering are not the ones eating your carpets - their larvae are, working unseen under furniture and along skirting boards where vacuum cleaners rarely reach. By the time holes appear in wool or cashmere, the infestation is established.

Professional treatment reaches the larvae and eggs in the fibres, not just the adults on the wing.

Pantry ContaminationWebbing, larvae or droppings in stored grains, flour, cereals or pet food in kitchen cupboards and larders.
Larval CasingsSmall silken tubes or cocoons on fabrics, skirting boards or in dark corners of wardrobes.
