Useful answers

Moth control FAQs

These answers are general guidance. The property, species and level of activity determine the right treatment.

Why are moths damaging only some clothes?+

Larvae favour animal fibres such as wool, cashmere, fur and feathers, particularly where sweat or food residues are present. Synthetic fabrics are less attractive unless blended with natural fibres.

Do moth traps solve an infestation?+

Pheromone traps are useful for detection and monitoring but usually do not control all larvae. The source materials and hidden harbourages still need attention.

Can moths live under carpets?+

Yes. Clothes moth larvae can feed at carpet edges, under furniture and in other dark, undisturbed areas containing natural fibre.
