About moths in London homes
Clothes moths and carpet moths have become a big problem in London homes. It's the larvae that do the damage, eating wool, silk, cashmere and natural-fibre carpets, often in dark, undisturbed spots under beds and furniture.
Signs of moths
- Small, irregular holes in wool, cashmere or silk clothing
- Bare patches in carpets, usually under furniture or along edges
- Small beige moths that flutter rather than fly towards light
- Silky tubes or cases in wardrobes and carpet edges
