Moth Control in Islington: what we see locally
Clothes moths are a big problem in Islington's period homes. Georgian and Victorian houses in Canonbury, Barnsbury and Highbury often have wool carpets, Persian rugs and wardrobes full of natural fibres, and vintage clothing from Camden Passage and local markets can bring moths in.
Central heating lets moths breed all year, and damage often goes unnoticed in dark corners. We treat the affected rooms thoroughly and give practical advice on cleaning and storage.
Where we find moths in Islington
- Wardrobes: Wool, cashmere and vintage clothes are vulnerable.
- Rugs on wooden floors: Natural rugs are a favourite target.
- Carpets under furniture: Larvae feed out of sight.

Our moth control service covers the whole of Islington, including Angel, Archway, Barnsbury, Canonbury, Clerkenwell, Finsbury Park, Highbury, Holloway, Pentonville, Tufnell Park and Upper Holloway, with same-day or next-day visits.
