Expert Carpet Moth Treatment in Malvern, Worcestershire

Expert Carpet Moth Treatment Service Covering Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.


Expert Treatment from a Local, Family-Run Pest Control Company

Carpet moths may be small, but their larvae can cause extensive and expensive damage to carpets, rugs, upholstery, and clothing. If you’ve noticed bare patches on your carpets or small moths fluttering near floor level, you may be dealing with an infestation. At Malvern Pest Control, we provide specialist carpet moth removal in Malvern, as well as throughout Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire.

As a local family-run business, we pride ourselves on offering fast, discreet, and professional pest control that puts your home or business first. Our treatments are designed not just to remove carpet moths, but to prevent future infestations as well.


Why You Need Carpet Moth Control

Carpet moths—also known as clothes moths or textile moths—lay eggs in natural fibres like wool, silk, and fur. Once hatched, the larvae feed on keratin in these fibres, causing permanent damage.

Here’s why professional control is essential:

  • Destructive Feeding Habits: Larvae feed on wool carpets, rugs, furniture coverings, and even clothing.

  • Difficult to Spot: Moths often go unnoticed until the damage is already done.

  • Fast Reproduction: Carpet moths breed year-round in warm indoor conditions. A small issue can quickly become widespread.

  • Hard to Eliminate with DIY: Moth eggs and larvae are resistant to many over-the-counter sprays and powders.

Our expert team uses proven treatments to eradicate carpet moths at every stage of their life cycle.


Signs of a Carpet Moth Infestation

Carpet moths are stealthy pests, but there are some clear warning signs:

  • Bald Patches in Carpets: Especially in darker or less frequently used areas like under furniture or along skirting boards.

  • Visible Larvae or Casings: Tiny white larvae or silk-like tubes stuck to carpets or fabrics.

  • Adult Moths: Small (around 5–7mm) beige or buff-coloured moths, usually near the floor or in dark corners.

  • Musty Odour: In heavily infested areas, you may detect a stale or unpleasant smell.

If you suspect moths in your carpets or upholstery, contact us for a free survey before the damage worsens.


Our Professional Carpet Moth Treatment Process

Our process is tailored to your home or property, targeting every stage of the moth lifecycle:

1. Free Survey & Assessment

Our technician will inspect the affected areas and identify the type and severity of the infestation. We’ll check carpets, rugs, furniture, wardrobes, and baseboards for signs of eggs, larvae, and adult moths.

2. Preparation Guidance

Before treatment, we’ll advise you on how to prepare your home—this may include vacuuming, moving furniture, and removing delicate items to allow full access.

3. Specialist Insecticidal Treatment

We apply a professional-grade residual insecticide spray to infested and at-risk areas. This targets eggs, larvae, and adult moths, and continues working for several weeks after application.

For severe infestations, we may recommend a ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) fogging treatment for full room coverage.

4. Follow-Up Treatment (if required)

Depending on the level of infestation, a second visit may be necessary to reapply treatment and confirm the issue has been resolved.

5. Advice on Long-Term Prevention

We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions and expert tips, including ventilation, cleaning routines, and storage solutions.

How to Prevent Carpet Moths

Once moths have been eliminated, it’s important to take steps to keep them away:

  • Vacuum Regularly: Especially under furniture, along skirting boards, and in dark corners.

  • Declutter: Avoid letting clothes, rugs or woollen textiles sit undisturbed in dark spaces.

  • Store Clothing Correctly: Use sealed bags or containers for wool and silk items.

  • Air and Ventilate: Moths thrive in warm, still environments—keep your home cool and well-ventilated where possible.

  • Monitor: Use pheromone moth traps to detect early signs of activity.
