About moths in the UK
The majority of moths found in the UK are harmless, however a few are seen as pests due to the damage their larvae causes to materials, textiles and stored products. Once inside your home some moths – such as Clothes Moths or Carpet Moths can severely damage natural fibres (such as wool, silk or cotton) in carpets, clothes, fabrics and even leather items. Moth caterpillars cause the damage by eating the protein – keratin, found in natural materials. This puts your delicate items at particular risk of damage, especially if they are left stored for long periods of time.
If you think you may have an infestation, contact our team of experts quickly, so treatment of the moths and their larvae can begin, as left unchecked the problem can swiftly spread to other areas of your property. The aftermath of these insects can be the destruction of carpets in rooms, hallways and even staircases. All of which can have a very negative effect on your customers perception of your business. At Merlin we can provide a non-toxic solution to this problem and we can accompany this with a monitoring program that will ensure regular checks are carried out on the levels of activity. We can then perform spot treatments as and when required. Our treatment strategy is very robust and will prevent further outbreaks and additional damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a clothes moth look like?
How quickly do clothes moths multiply?
Where do clothes moths live?
What are the signs of a clothes moth infestation?
- Holes in your clothes, especially those made of non-synthetic fibres.
- If you shop at Ebay or at charity outlets, then you could be inviting clothes moths into your home. Check for eggs and larvae and dry clean everything.
- Spotting the empty cocoons. They look like whispy, white, rice-shaped pouches.
- Seeing moths in your home. Clothes moths do not fly quickly so they are easily visible.
Does a moth infestation need controlling?
- Clothes moths have good taste. They will go for your most expensive clothes as well as attack valuable items in your home, such as sofas and carpets.
- If you are a commercial enterprise, such as a clothing retailer, a storage facility or a furniture outlet, you can lose huge amounts of stock in a very short time. Hotels and other service businesses are also at risk.
- It is very difficult to control a moth infestation. The adult moths quickly become immune to aging mothballs and other more organic solutions.
