Brighouse has stone terraces beside the canal and later housing beyond, and moth larvae can turn up in either. We trace them and treat the fabrics and carpets affected.
Think about what a moth needs: a bit of wool, a dark corner and no one disturbing it. A Brighouse terrace near the canal basin offers many such corners, and so does a later semi with fitted carpets and a boarded loft. The type of house changes where we look more than how we treat. In the older terraces we often start with the bedroom wardrobes and rugs on solid floors, and in the semis with carpet edges and loft storage.
We try not to over-treat. If the survey shows a single wardrobe is affected, there is no point in spraying the whole house. If larvae are found in carpets across several rooms, treatment will be wider. Either way we report what we found, why we think it started and what to do afterwards. Cost depends on the property, the extent of the problem and the number of visits, and our quote is free. Fully insured and trained technicians attend.
Not always, but a closer look is. One adult may have wandered in, or it may be the first of several. Check wool items and carpet edges for webbing and cases, and put out a trap. If you find signs, then treatment makes sense.
After the survey, we apply a suitable treatment to carpet edges, furniture and storage where larvae are active, and advise on washing or freezing clothes. You may need to clear cupboards beforehand. We explain exactly what to prepare when we book the visit.

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.
