Older stone property by the Wharfe and later housing around it both suit moth larvae. We search wardrobes, carpets and stores in Tadcaster and treat where they feed.
Small towns like Tadcaster keep their houses a long time, and so do their cupboards. A stone house with a long brewing-town history probably has some furniture and textiles that were there before the current owners. A rug that has covered the same patch of floor for twenty years can hold a hidden colony along its underside. We lift and check them, and look at the wardrobes and chests that have not been emptied recently.
Later housing around the centre has fitted carpets and wardrobes, where the signs are smaller: a few fluttering adults, a bare corner under the bed. Neither type of house is more at risk, only differently arranged. We carry out the survey, treat the feeding sites with confirmed activity and tell you how to wash, freeze and store your clothing. No call-out charges apply, and the cost depends on the property and extent of the problem.
Lift a corner and look underneath for webbing, silk tubes, larval cases and bare pile. Roll the edge back and check the base fibres. If you find activity, tell us before moving it too far, since shaking it out may spread eggs and larvae.

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.
