Clothes moths and pantry moths are both common around homes in Windsor, though they cause very different problems. Clothes moths lay eggs in wool, silk and natural fibres stored in wardrobes and drawers, leaving small holes in jumpers or blankets, while pantry moths turn up in flour, rice, pet food and other dry goods, often arriving in a packet bought from the shop rather than starting in the home itself. Both types can be well underway before anyone notices, since the damage from clothes moths often only shows up once a jumper is pulled out of storage for winter, and pantry moth larvae can travel from one cupboard shelf to another inside containers that are not quite sealed enough.
When you call 07 3543 7770, we take down whether the problem is in the wardrobe or the pantry and book a local crew to treat the property accordingly. For clothes moths the crew focuses on wardrobes, drawers, carpets and stored fabric, and for pantry moths the focus shifts to cupboards, shelving and the cracks around them where larvae can hide once they leave an infested packet.
- Wardrobes, drawers and stored clothing
- Carpets, rugs and soft furnishings
- Pantry shelves and food storage cupboards
- Cracks and gaps around cupboards
- Linen cupboards and stored blankets
Homes across Windsor with older wool carpets or a lot of stored linen tend to see clothes moth activity more than newer properties. Call 07 3543 7770 to book a local crew and check both the wardrobe and the pantry if you are not sure which type of moth you are dealing with.
