Trusted Providers Of Moth Pest Control Throughout Gloucester & The Cotswolds
Expert Moth Control Across Gloucester
Moths might not seem like a dangerous pest, and most species live alongside humans with no issues. However, some species, including the common clothes moth, also known as carpet moths, can cause serious damage to your property. Their larvae eat natural fibres, including wool, silk, velvet and leather, and can destroy carpets, soft furnishings and clothes quickly.
Other species of moth, such as the Indian Meal Moth, also known as pantry moths, eat human food, including dried grains. They can contaminate food and make kitchens unsanitary, making them particularly dangerous for businesses and homes with children.
Thankfully, Arrest The Pest has moth control services to get rid of moths fast and ensure they can’t return again. Female moths can lay up to 200 eggs a time, and these can be buried deep inside carpets and other fabrics, meaning they can be hard to reach. Arrest The Pest can control moth infestations of all sizes and types, quickly destroying the moths while protecting your space. Call 07766083234 to find out more.
Signs Of A Moth Infestation
Adult moths are relatively large insect pests, especially when compared to others like bed bugs or fleas, so sightings are relatively common. Other signs of a moth infestation include:
- Irregular Holes In Carpets Or Clothes: If you notice small holes in clothes, bare patches on your carpets or fur falling off of fur items, then this could be a sign of a carpet moth infestation.
- Damage To Food Packaging: Pantry moths may bite holes in food packaging and contaminate food, so check dried food and cupboards as well as wardrobes.
- Larvae Or Silk Casings: Moth larvae look like small, whitish maggots, and you might notice them or small silk cocoons throughout your carpets or furniture if you moths.
- A Stale Smell: A large moth infestation may cause a stale, musty odour throughout your home that cannot be removed by cleaning.

How Arrest The Pest Gets Rid Of Moths
One of the main issues with moth infestations is how destructive they can be. While adult moths are the most visible, it is the moth larvae that are the most damaging, as they need to eat a lot of protein to enter the pupal stage and transform. That’s why early detection and fast action is critical to help protect your property.
DIY moth sprays and powders are often ineffective, as they cannot permeate the full room and are often not strong enough to get rid of all moths, larvae and eggs. To kill moths at every life cycle stage, you need targeted, professional moth control.
Arrest The Pest offers effective moth treatments for homes and businesses across Gloucester and the Cotswolds. Our team can target infested areas, such as soft furnishings and wardrobes, using products that are only available to RSPH Level 2 Certified pest controllers. They can ensure that the moth infestation is fully removed and provide expert advice to help reduce the chances of it coming back. Want to eliminate moths for good?

Moth Control FAQs
Why Are There Suddenly So Many Moths In Your House?
Moths enter homes for a number of reasons. They can be attracted to light and will fly in through open windows. Once inside, if they find a food source they will start to breed, which is when you will start noticing a lot of adult moths around your space.
Are Moths Dangerous?
While moths don’t bite or sting humans or spread diseases, they can cause extensive damage to your clothing, carpets, soft furnishings and other natural fabrics throughout your home. Pantry moths can also contaminate food and cause reputation problems for businesses.
