Moth Control in Merton: what we see locally
Clothes moths are increasingly common in Merton homes, helped by central heating. The larvae feed on wool, silk, cashmere and other natural fibres, causing holes in clothes and bare patches in carpets.
We see moth damage most in the large Victorian and Edwardian houses of Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park, where wool carpets and rugs are common, and in spare rooms and lofts where clothes are stored. Our treatment targets wardrobes, under beds, carpet edges and rugs.
Damage often goes unnoticed until a favourite jumper or rug shows holes, so it pays to act at the first sign.
Where we find moths in Merton
- Wardrobes: Wool and cashmere clothes that aren't worn often are the first to be damaged.
- Carpets under furniture: Larvae feed where vacuums rarely reach.
- Rugs: Natural rugs are often damaged on the underside first.
- Lofts and storage: Stored clothes and blankets can harbour moths.
Our moth control service covers the whole of Merton (SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4), including Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden, Motspur Park, Raynes Park, South Wimbledon, Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping moths out of Merton homes
Vacuum under furniture regularly, clean clothes before storing in sealed bags and use pheromone traps to spot activity early.
