In terraces and across Castleford's large estates, moths feed on wool in carpets and cupboards. We trace the larvae and treat the places that matter.
Large estates are where Castleford's housing mostly sits, and in streets of similar houses the same moth habits repeat: a fitted carpet in every bedroom, a wardrobe along the same wall, a loft with the same boarding. This means we know the spots to inspect first. Along the skirting behind the wardrobe and the carpet strip under the bed, we often find the clearest signs of grazing and silk tubes.
The older terraces, a reminder of the coal and glass days, have their own pattern with cellars, solid floors and rooms that have changed use over the years. A spare room becomes a store, and the store is where larvae live. We check them all, treat the sites with active larvae, and advise on laundering, freezing and storage. A free quote is given, with no call-out charges, and the price depends on the property and the number of visits.
Usually because the source was never removed, such as eggs or larvae in a carpet edge or a stored item that was not washed. Adults emerge when it warms. Finding and treating the feeding site, then storing clothes sealed, is what breaks the cycle.
If the survey shows that is the only site, yes. Often though, larvae have spread to carpet beneath or along the skirting. We check both before deciding the scope, so you pay for the work that is needed and no more.

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
