The Trouble with Moths
Moths themselves aren’t dangerous, but it’s their larvae you need to worry about. These tiny caterpillars feed on natural fibres like wool, silk, cotton, and even feathers, making your clothes, carpets, and upholstery fair game.
In the UK, the most common problem species include:
- Clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella)
- Case-bearing moths (Tinea pellionella)
- Brown house moths (Hofmannophila pseudospretella)
They thrive in dark, undisturbed spaces like wardrobes, under furniture, and in lofts, quietly causing damage while you go about your day.
Signs of a Moth Infestation
Noticed something’s not quite right? Here’s what to watch out for:
- Damaged Fabrics: Small holes in clothing, upholstery, curtains, or rugs—especially made from natural materials.
- Visible Larvae: Tiny white caterpillars or silky webbing in drawers, cupboards, or carpets.
- Shed Casings: Moth larvae leave behind pale husks as they develop.
- Adult Moths: Small beige or brown moths fluttering around, especially at night.
- Musty Smell: A stale, unpleasant smell in wardrobes or storage areas may signal a moth problem.
Why Moths Are a Problem
They might be small, but moths can cause big trouble in the home:
- Property Damage: Larvae feed on textiles, leading to costly damage to clothes, carpets, and soft furnishings.
- Difficult to Detect: They often remain hidden until significant damage is done.
- Rapid Reproduction: A single female can lay hundreds of eggs, quickly escalating the issue.
- Allergy Risk: Shed skins and droppings can contribute to household dust and trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Prevention Tips: Keeping Moths Away
A few smart habits can help you avoid future infestations:
- Vacuum Regularly: Especially under furniture, around skirting boards, and in wardrobes.
- Clean Clothing Before Storing: Moths are attracted to sweat, food stains, and skin particles on fabrics.
- Use Airtight Storage: Store seasonal clothes and linens in sealed containers.
- Let in the Light: Moths love dark corners—air out wardrobes and cupboards regularly.
- Use Natural Repellents: Lavender, cedarwood, and cloves can help deter moths from setting up home.
