Moth Pest Control

Q: How Much Does Moth Pest Control Cost?

There is no fixed cost, as it depends on the property, how many items or rooms are involved and what the work needs to cover. We prefer to understand the situation before talking about figures. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply. Phone advice is free.

Q: When Can I Phone About Moths?

We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 9pm. We're closed on Sundays. Phone advice is free. Call 02394 190 822 at any point in those hours and describe the damage to your clothes, carpets or other fabrics, and we can talk about what to do next.

Q: What Does A Moth Visit Involve?

The visit starts with an assessment of the affected fabrics and rooms. Should treatment be appropriate, we set out what the work involves and then carry it out. Afterwards we give aftercare advice, and the technician will mention anything particular to the way your items are stored or used.

Q: How Can I Tell If I Have Moths?

Look for damage or unusual changes to clothes, carpets or other fabrics, such as holes, thin patches or worn edges. You can describe what you have found or send us a photo. A picture helps, but we cannot always be sure from it, so a look in person may still be needed.

Q: Do You Treat Moths In Homes And Businesses?

Yes. We deal with moth problems at houses and at business premises alike. In every case we inspect the problem on site first, since what makes sense depends on the fabrics involved and how the space is used.

Q: Do You Deal With Clothes Moths And Carpet Moths?

Yes. Many of the calls we take are about moths in clothing or in carpets. We approach both in the same general way: we look at what is affected, explain what we suggest and carry out the work if treatment is appropriate.

Q: Do You Carry Out Moth Work For Businesses?

Yes. Among our commercial customers are schools, retail units, industrial sites and warehouses, along with property-management companies looking after several premises. We assess every site before suggesting a course of action. More about this side of our work is on the commercial pest control page.

Q: Should I Check Other Fabrics In The House?

Yes, it is a good idea. Look through other clothes, carpets, rugs or soft furnishings that may have been in contact with the moths, and let us know if you find further damage. It is practical advice for spotting where else the moths may have been, rather than a promise about the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had treatment Wednesday after, calling up in a panic Tuesday day. Charlie and Craig were amazing really reassuring, friendly and down to earth, as I worked myself into a right state, I was very scared on edge. I felt very much at ease, thank you so much on the treatment’s you provided, I can’t thank you enough! I can’t comment on the success of the treatment yet because it’s only been day 2. Again thank you, you and your team are hero’s, I couldn’t do your job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed our solar panels bird-proofed. RS Pest Control moved fast, including arranging for the erection and dismantling of scaffolding, and were very friendly and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. Everything was done within ten days. I am very pleased.

Cam back out as we weren't happy with the service we received plus cost we paid, so appreciated the effort to make things better. Something should be mentioned from the start that all bate gets removed from 3nd visit so customer knows what to expect.

I recently had to contact RS Pest Control and couldn't be more impressed with the service, their professionalism and responsiveness stood out. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, and took the time to expalin the process. They conducted a comprehensive inspection of my property, identifying potential problems areas. The treatment itself was effective and I apprecaited their use of safe products. The treatment has been effective and has provided peace of mind.
The communication from the entire team has been excellent.

I highly recommend RS Pest Control to anyone requiring and effective cost effcient service - customer satisfaction and quality service.

What Happens When You Call About Moths

Moth jobs follow four stages with us, and we keep you informed about what each one means for your home or premises.

1. Describing The Damage You Have Found

Give us a ring or send the form with a note of which items are marked, where they are kept and how long you have been noticing it. Phone advice is free.

2. Looking At The Affected Items

We look at the clothes, carpets or other fabrics concerned and the rooms they are in, so that we can judge whether treatment is the right step. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply.

3. Treating The Moth Problem

Where treatment is needed, we go through what the visit will involve beforehand and then carry out the work. Nothing is started until you understand what we are proposing.

4. Aftercare And Checking Other Fabrics

After the treatment, we give you aftercare advice. Part of that is looking through other garments, rugs or soft furnishings that may have been in contact with the moths. We cannot promise that moths will never come back, but we will tell you what to watch for.

Spotting Moth Damage In Fabrics

Most people notice moths through damage rather than the insects themselves. Clothing may develop holes or worn-looking patches, often on items that have sat in a drawer or wardrobe for a while.

Carpets and rugs can show bare or patchy areas, particularly at the edges or in parts of a room hidden under beds or sofas. Any change to a fabric that seems out of the ordinary is worth mentioning when you call.

The enquiries we receive most often concern clothes moths and carpet moths, so if either sounds familiar, tell us what you have seen.
