Between Batley and Cleckheaton, Birstall's older stone houses and later estates all have wardrobes and carpets that moths can use. We find the larvae and treat them.
A Birstall householder usually rings after seeing a moth in the bathroom or bedroom and not knowing where it came from. The answer is rarely the room it was seen in. Adults wander. The larvae are wherever the food is: a wool rug in the box room, a coat in the hall cupboard, a cashmere jumper in the spare drawer. We trace the route back from where the moths were seen, checking each fabric source on the way.
Older stone housing here often has solid floors with rugs, and long-standing storage in attics and under-stairs space. Later estates have fitted carpets and wardrobes with sliding doors that hide the back corners. Both need a proper look at the edges. Because Birstall sits so close to Batley and Cleckheaton, we know the housing stock well. Fully insured and trained technicians treat the carpets and furnishings affected, and we give a free quote based on what we find.
Not necessarily. A single adult can wander or arrive on clothing. But if you see several, or find webbing, cases or damaged wool, it is worth investigating. Check wardrobes and carpets nearest to where it was seen.
They attract male clothes moths and are useful to tell you whether activity exists and where it is strongest. They do not remove larvae, so they are a monitoring aid rather than a solution. Used alongside cleaning and treatment, they show whether things are improving.

Not every moth in the house eats fabric. Learn to recognise the small, pale species that do, what their larvae and damage look like and where they tend to hide.
Read the advice →Killing the odd flying moth does not save your woollens. To get rid of clothes moths you have to find the larvae, clean everything they can feed on and treat the places they hide.
Read the advice →Moth treatment is not a fixed-price job, because it depends on where the larvae are and how far they have spread. This guide explains what influences the cost and how to compare quotes.
Read the advice →Clothes moths do their harm quietly and out of sight. Knowing the signs helps you catch them before a favourite jumper or a valuable rug is ruined.
Read the advice →Clothes moths settle where fabric is left undisturbed and slightly soiled. A handful of storage habits and a regular clean make your home a much poorer place for them.
Read the advice →Washing, freezing and vacuuming solve many small moth problems. When moths keep returning or reach carpets and the roof space, a professional survey is usually the quicker route.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
