MOTH CONTROL SERVICES in Birmingham
As pest control operators in the UK, we encounter various types of moths. Some of the common ones include clothes moths, carpet moths, and food moths. However, only a particular group of moths can damage everyday items such as fabrics, carpets, and wool products. It’s important to note that the damage is mainly caused by moth larvae and not adult moths. If left unattended, a moth infestation can cause significant harm to your home or business.
WHAT DAMAGE CAN MOTHS DO?
Moths can damage several everyday items such as carpets, fabrics, wool products and other natural materials. The moth larvae feed on these materials by creating holes and weakening the fibres which results in a deteriorated or even unusable item. In extreme cases, the larvae may even create webs of silk that can be seen around infected areas.
Furniture, carpets and clothing may sustain damage from moths. If an infestation occurs, you may observe holes in these items. Replacing the damaged carpets and clothing can result in significant expenses, so it is crucial to take prompt measures to address the issue.
