About Textile Pests
Silent Destroyers – It’s not usually the adult moths or beetles that cause damage, but their larvae, which feed on natural fibres like wool, silk, and fur.
Keratin Diet – Textile pests eat keratin, the natural protein found in animal-based fibres, making carpets, clothing, and upholstery their favourite food source.
Hidden Damage – Infestations often go unnoticed until serious damage is done, as larvae tend to feed in dark, undisturbed areas like under furniture or inside wardrobes.
Resilient Pests – Clothes moth larvae can survive for months without feeding, which is why infestations can linger if not professionally treated.
Rapid Reproduction – A single clothes moth can lay up to 200 eggs, quickly leading to widespread damage if left untreated.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What are textile pests?
A: Textile pests include insects such as clothes moths, carpet beetles, and their larvae. They feed on natural fibres like wool, silk, fur, and feathers, causing damage to carpets, clothing, and upholstery.
Q: How do I know if I have a textile pest problem?
A: Signs include holes in clothing or carpets, shed larvae skins, and adult moths or beetles around your home. Infestations are often worse in dark, undisturbed areas such as under furniture or inside wardrobes.
Q: Can I treat textile pests myself?
A: Vacuuming and cleaning can help reduce numbers, but DIY sprays rarely reach hidden larvae. Professional treatment is usually needed to fully eliminate the infestation.
Q: Are your treatments safe for my home?
A: Yes. We use professional, targeted treatments that are safe for people and pets once dry. Our technicians will give you clear advice on any simple precautions.
Q: How can I stop textile pests coming back?
A: Regular cleaning, good ventilation, and storing clothes properly (especially wool and silk items) can help. We’ll also provide advice tailored to your property after treatment.
