Clothes moths and their larvae are a destructive pest that will ruin clothes, carpets, curtains in your home or business or your businesses expensive stock.

DIY moth treatment products are not effective, you may kill a handful of adult moths but you will not kill the larvae that can cause the most damage. The professional grade products that iQ Pest Control use in your home or business will kill moths and also larvae.

Once you can see moths it’s probably too late.

Clothes moth love lurking in the dark places in your home, which usually means they remain unseen. When you see just the one moth there is potentially hundreds more living and breeding out of sight.

When the female of the species starts laying eggs she will continue until she has littered your home with hundreds of eggs. Most of these will hatch into ravenous larvae 4 to 10 days after the eggs were laid. They can stay in the larval state for up to 30 months (2 ½ years) whilst consuming your favourite expensive threads!! When the conditions and time is right they will then turn into adult moths. iQ Pest Control are often called to moth infestations in the winter when the larvae are busy feeding themselves in preparation for warmer climes when they can transform into an adult moth.
