Moth Control in City of London: what we see locally
Clothes moths thrive in warm, centrally heated flats, where they breed all year round. In the Barbican and other City homes, wool carpets, rugs and wardrobes full of suits and knitwear give the larvae plenty to feed on.
We treat the affected rooms thoroughly, including wardrobes, under beds and rugs, and give practical advice on cleaning and storage so moths don't come back.
We often find moth problems in City flats that are used as weekday bases, where wardrobes of suits and knitwear go undisturbed for long periods. Moths can also be brought in on vintage clothing or rugs. Damage tends to be worst in dark corners and under furniture that is rarely moved.
Where we find moths in City of London
- Wardrobes: Wool suits, coats and knitwear are vulnerable.
- Carpets under furniture: Undisturbed carpet is a favourite feeding place.
- Rugs: Natural-fibre rugs are a common target.
