Moths in the home usually fall into two groups, clothes moths that target wool, silk and other natural fibres in wardrobes, and pantry moths that turn up around flour, cereal and other dry food in the kitchen. Both can go unnoticed until small webbing, larvae or holes in fabric give them away, often after they have had weeks or months to build up undisturbed.
In Melbourne, older wardrobes and pantries with less airflow tend to see more activity, especially where stored items sit undisturbed for long stretches. The crew we book identifies which type of moth is involved before treating, since the approach for a wardrobe differs from the approach for a pantry shelf. Seasonal storage, such as winter coats packed away over summer, can also be a source of activity if items were stored without checking them first.
Tell us where you have seen moths or damage when you call, and we will give you an upfront price for a visit to your property in Melbourne before anything is booked. If the activity is limited to one wardrobe or cupboard, mention this so the crew can focus the visit accordingly. Natural fibres such as wool and silk are far more likely to be targeted than synthetic fabrics, so mentioning what the affected items are made from can help narrow down the type of moth involved.
