How We Treat These Pests
Our moth and silverfish treatments begin with a thorough inspection of your property. We look for signs of damage, moisture issues and potential breeding areas—like dark storage spaces, ceiling cavities, behind skirting boards, and under sinks. These pests often go unnoticed until they’ve caused significant damage to your clothing, books or pantry goods, so early detection is key.
Once we’ve assessed the situation, we apply safe and targeted treatments that eliminate adults, larvae and eggs. For moths, this includes treating wardrobes, carpets and soft furnishings. For silverfish, we focus on skirting boards, cupboards, cracks and damp zones where they nest and feed. Our treatments are non-invasive, low-odour and safe for use around families and pets.
We also help you understand how to keep these pests from coming back. Our prevention advice includes tips on decluttering, humidity control, sealing entry points and long-term storage practices. Whether you’re dealing with a one-off infestation or need ongoing protection, we’ll tailor our solution to your space and lifestyle.
What causes moths and silverfish in my house?
Moths are usually attracted to natural fabrics like wool, cotton or silk, and are often found in wardrobes or storage areas. Silverfish thrive in humid environments and are drawn to paper, glue and food crumbs. Clutter, moisture and lack of ventilation create the perfect conditions for both pests to thrive indoors.
How do I know if I have silverfish or moths?
Silverfish are silvery, teardrop-shaped insects often seen at night in bathrooms, basements or kitchens. Signs include damage to paper, wallpaper or books. Moths may leave behind larvae casings, webbing or holes in clothing and linens. You might also notice small, brown moths flying around your closet or pantry.
Are moth and silverfish treatments safe?
Yes, professional treatments are formulated to be safe for homes with pets and children when applied correctly. Our technicians use low-toxicity products and take extra care when treating sensitive areas like wardrobes and bookshelves. We also provide follow-up guidance to help minimise future infestations through safe cleaning and storage tips.
