Moth control & treatment

Protect clothing, carpets and soft furnishings with specialist moth treatments — including heat options where suitable.

Specialist moth treatments for textiles

Clothes moths and related textile pests can quietly damage wardrobes, rugs and stored fabrics. Bug Doctors provide moth control focused on larvae, eggs and the conditions that allow infestations to continue.

Signs you may have moths

  • Holes in wool jumpers, suits, coats or blankets
  • Silken webbing or tubes in folds of fabric
  • Adult moths in cupboards and dark storage areas
  • Larvae or cases among clothing or carpet edges

How moth treatment works

Successful moth control combines treatment of active areas with practical steps such as cleaning, isolating affected items and improving storage. Depending on the property and severity, we may recommend conventional treatment methods or refer you to our dedicated heat treatments service.

Heat treatments for moths

Heat can be an excellent choice for moth problems in rooms, wardrobes and textile-heavy spaces because it targets eggs and larvae that sprays may miss. Learn more on our heat treatments page, or compare with related fabric pests such as carpet beetles.

Moth treatment FAQs

What causes clothes moth infestations?

Clothes moth larvae feed on keratin in wool, silk and other animal fibres. Quiet wardrobes, stored clothing and soiled fabrics create ideal conditions.

Can heat kill moth eggs and larvae?

Yes. Controlled heat treatments can be highly effective against moths in all life stages when temperatures are raised and held correctly throughout the treated space.

Will mothballs solve the problem?

Mothballs and DIY products rarely eliminate an established infestation on their own. Professional treatment plus cleaning and storage changes give longer-lasting results.
