Moth Control in Ealing: what we see locally
Clothes moths have become a common problem in Ealing's period homes. Wool carpets, natural-fibre rugs and wardrobes full of wool and cashmere give moth larvae everything they need, and centrally heated houses let them breed all year round instead of just in summer.
Ealing's big Victorian and Edwardian houses, especially around Ealing Common, Pitshanger and Hanger Hill, often have fitted carpets that run under heavy furniture, where larvae feed undisturbed. We treat the affected rooms, including under beds and inside wardrobes, and give you a clear plan for cleaning and storing clothes so moths don't return.
Where we find moths in Ealing
- Wardrobes and drawers: Larvae feed on wool, cashmere and silk, particularly on clothes that haven't been worn or washed for a while.
- Wool carpets under furniture: Edges of carpets beneath beds, sofas and bookcases are where we find most damage in Ealing homes.
- Lofts and storage areas: Stored blankets, old clothes and rugs in lofts can hold moths for years.
- Rugs on period floorboards: Natural rugs in Ealing's older houses are a regular source of carpet moth damage.
Our moth control service covers the whole of Ealing (W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2, UB5 and UB6), including Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale, Pitshanger, Southall and West Ealing, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping moths out of Ealing homes
Moths dislike disturbance and light. Vacuum regularly under beds and furniture and along carpet edges, shake out and air wool clothes, and wash or dry-clean clothes before you put them away for the season. Store wool, cashmere and silk in sealed garment bags or boxes. Pheromone traps are useful in Ealing's larger houses for spotting a problem early, before larvae cause serious damage.

Moth Control in Ealing: your questions
How much does moth control cost in Ealing?
Moth control in Ealing costs from £295 for one room, rising to £1,095 for 9 rooms, with no VAT to add. The price is fixed before we visit, with no call-out charge. Whole-property treatments include a 3-month guarantee as standard.
Do moth traps get rid of moths?
Pheromone traps only catch adult male moths, so they're useful for monitoring but won't solve an infestation. The larvae cause the damage, and our treatment kills them where they're feeding.
Do I need to empty my wardrobes before you come?
Yes. We'll ask you to empty wardrobes and drawers in the rooms being treated, and to wash or dry-clean affected clothes, so the treatment reaches every corner.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every whole-property moth treatment comes with a 3-month guarantee as standard. If moths come back within 3 months, call us and we'll come back and re-treat.
