Having a moth problem in your wardrobe or house can be super distressing.

With house moths, they are creepy and cause a nuisance flying around and being attracted to lights. In the case of clothes moths, this is because of the damage they can do to your favourite clothes. To get rid of moths, you need a quick and easy solution that is effective in getting the job done.

Monitor Your Windows

Moths will get into your home through open windows. This is especially common during the summer when we throw our windows open in the warm weather. So just make sure you monitor the open windows to stop moths making them their entry point. Why not get insect nets on the windows?

Protect Your Clothes

Keep your wardrobe neat and tidy and don’t allow it to get overcrowded with clothes. This helps you spot any moth control problems as soon as they happen. When you have out of season clothes, try putting them in sealed boxes for storage.

Any clothes that you don’t wear on a regular basis should be taken out and shook. You can also give them a wash to stop moths hiding and breeding in them. Having dirty or smelly clothes in your wardrobe is much more attractive to a moth, so clean all of your clothes before you put them away.

Keep Up The Housework

Having a neat and tidy home is one of the best weapons against most kinds of pest. Pests thrive in dirty, cluttered, smelly and untidy environments. Regular cleaning will help you to keep on top of any moth problems you might have by reducing their hiding places.

Establish a regular vacuuming routine so that any moths lurking in your carpets are eliminated too. Carefully clean your wardrobes and other clothes storage areas to fully exterminate a moth problem.

Traps

Pheromone traps are a great way of getting rid of moths. The pheromones on the trap confuses the male moths, which then stick to a pad. Without the males, the females can’t breed and the moth population dies down slightly.

Get In Touch With The Professionals

If you don’t know how to get rid of a moth infestation in your home, it’s always best to contact your local pest control professionals. They will be able to give you advice on extermination and how to prevent infestations in the future.
