Protect Your Home from Silent Damage
Moth Treatment
Moth problems often go unnoticed until the damage is done.
You may spot small holes in a rug, bare patches in a carpet, or loose fibres on a chair that didn’t used to be there. That’s usually when we get the call. And the first thing clients tell us is that they had no idea anything was wrong.
At Team Spotless, we specialise in effective moth treatment that deals with the issue properly without fuss, mess, or disruption to your home.
What Makes Moths So Problematic?
It’s not the moths themselves that cause damage. It’s their larvae. Once they find the right environment which is usually warm, undisturbed areas with natural fibres like wool, silk, or cotton, they feed on the material until it starts to break apart.
Common signs include:
● Irregular holes in rugs or carpets often under furniture
● Worn-looking upholstery without an obvious cause
● A fine, sandy dust underneath rugs or curtains
● Actual moths which look like small, beige, and often near skirting or corners
Once you notice this, it’s important to act quickly. Moths breed fast, and if left untreated, they can quietly cause thousands of pounds’ worth of damage.
Where We Commonly Find Them
Moth treatment activity usually starts in areas that don’t get much attention. We frequently find early signs:
● Under beds, sofas, and large furniture
● Around the edges of fitted carpets
● Beneath rugs laid on timber or stone flooring
● In guest rooms or less-used areas of the home
● Behind heavy curtains or under window seats
These spots often have just the right mix of warmth, fibres, and low disturbance making them ideal for moth larvae to feed and grow. Early detection in these areas is key to avoiding larger repairs later.
Our Approach
We’ve helped protect many homes across London from moth damage including period properties, luxury flats, and listed buildings where fine textiles are part of the architecture.
Here’s how we handle it:
Inspection
We carefully check affected areas, looking for larvae, eggs, and signs of damage. Rugs, carpets, and curtains are common hiding spots especially those that don’t get much foot traffic.
Treatment
We use a specialist product designed to eliminate moths at all stages including eggs, larvae, and adults. It’s low-odour, discreet, and safe for use around children and pets once dry.
Advice & Prevention
We’ll show you what to watch for in future, how to reduce the risk of a return, and whether any follow-up visit may be needed. If items are badly affected, we’ll let you know honestly.
