MOTH DAMAGE
Carpet or clothes moth are a pest species we treat all year round, though they are usually discovered in winter when you go to dig your favourite wooly jumper out, and find it full of holes!
The grubs, or 'Larva' (pictured) are what do the damage, feeding on natural fibres before they 'pupate' - usually for 8-10 days, though sometimes for much longer, then emerge as adult moths.
Treatment includes a VERY thorough clean - I always address all soft and hard surfaces; under furniture, curtains, between cushions - followed by a residual insecticide treatment.
Whilst moths don't pose a risk to us as people, the damage they can cause to possessions - for example the beautiful woven vintage rug in the video here - can be catastrophic.
