Moth Control in Barking and Dagenham: what we see locally
Clothes moths are increasingly common in London homes, including in Barking and Dagenham. Central heating lets them breed all year, and the larvae feed on wool, silk, cashmere and other natural fibres in wardrobes, drawers, rugs and carpets.
Damage usually appears in dark, undisturbed places, such as the back of a wardrobe or the carpet under a bed. Our technicians treat the affected rooms thoroughly and give you advice on cleaning and storage so the moths don't come back.
Where we find moths in Barking and Dagenham
- Wardrobes and drawers: Wool and cashmere clothes that aren't worn often are the first to be damaged.
- Carpets under beds and sofas: Larvae feed where they won't be disturbed by vacuuming.
- Stored clothes and blankets: Lofts and storage boxes can hold moths for years.
- Rugs and wall hangings: Natural-fibre rugs are a common target.
Our moth control service covers the whole of Barking and Dagenham (IG11, RM6, RM8, RM9 and RM10), including Barking, Becontree, Castle Green, Chadwell Heath, Dagenham, Marks Gate, Rush Green and Thames View, with same-day or next-day visits.
