Moth Control

All moths, including Indian Meal Moths, Grain Moths, Flour Moths (Pantry Moths) and Clothing Moths, love to live in dark and humid places where nobody disturbs them for long periods. This gives them the time and freedom to destroy our clothes and food.

Certain moth species can do incredible damage to property such as clothes, carpets or food.​ Moths can also cause a negative impact on personal wellbeing - fear of moths is a fairly common phobia.

Frequently asked questions about moth control and infestations

I’ve just spotted moths in my wardrobe — what should I do first?

Remove any infested clothes, wash or dry-clean them at a high temperature (checking the label first), and vacuum the wardrobe thoroughly. Then, arrange a professional inspection to make sure the problem doesn’t spread.

Are moths in my house harmful or just annoying?

While they don’t bite or spread disease, moth larvae can seriously damage clothes, carpets, and soft furnishings, which makes quick action important.

Can I get rid of moths using sprays from the shop?

Shop-bought sprays can help reduce adult moths, but they rarely kill hidden eggs and larvae. A professional treatment targets all life stages and stops the infestation properly.

How long does a moth treatment usually take?

A professional moth treatment typically involves a 1–2 hour application process, followed by a necessary safe re-entry period (on average, of 4 hours). Some cases may need follow-up visits to break the breeding cycle.

Do you cover smaller villages in Herefordshire and Worcestershire too?

Yes, PGM technicians cover all local areas across both counties, including rural villages as well as towns like Hereford, Ross-on-Wye, Worcester, and Malvern.
