Selby sits low and flat beside the Ouse, with older property by the Abbey and newer estates beyond. We find moth larvae and treat what they are feeding on.
Low-lying land by the River Ouse means a good deal of Selby's older property has cool, slightly damp ground floors, and cellars are less common than in the hill towns. Instead, moths get comfortable in wardrobes, bedroom carpets and under-stair cupboards on the ground floor. Damp is not the cause, but humid rooms help larvae develop, so we pay attention to anywhere that feels close or musty alongside wool storage.
Around the Abbey, older town-centre buildings come with awkward cupboards and roof spaces, and the later estates are flat-fronted, carpeted and fitted. We survey whichever applies, treat the places where larvae are confirmed and give clear advice on cleaning and storing clothing. Selby is in North Yorkshire, and we travel to it from Leeds as part of our Yorkshire coverage. Free surveys are offered for homes and businesses, and a quote depends on the property.
Yes. We cover Leeds, West Yorkshire and surrounding Yorkshire towns, including Selby in North Yorkshire. Ring 0113 347 0014 or message us on WhatsApp, and we will talk through the problem and arrange a visit.
Better ventilation, a dehumidifier in damp rooms and keeping stored items off cold external walls help. Fix any source of damp where you can. Humidity control reduces how comfortable the conditions are for larvae, but it is no substitute for cleaning stored fabric.

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.
