Clothes Moths – the cause of unsightly damage to clothes
A serious inconvenience, and the cause of many a ruined wardrobe. These pesky creatures like to inhabit wardrobes, chests of drawers or cupboards and will feast on your favourite garments. Whilst they don’t cause any damage to humans, but can show their troublesome side when you find moth bitten holes across that dress or suit that you’ve been saving for a special occasion.
Other areas that are particularly prone to most infestation: underneath beds, especially is rooms that are not often used, lofts and attics (moths will often be attracted to birds nests in eaves of homes).
Silverfish
These pesky creatures are renowned for causing damage to foodstuffs, paper products and clothing – plus, they move particularly quickly and inhabit areas that are largely undisturbed (i.e. bookcases). They prefer dark, damp areas, and are able to climb smooth surfaces such as bath basins or skins.
You can spot a silverfish quite easily – they are a silvery blue shade, and around half an inch in length. Their outer body is scaly, and they move in a way that resembles a fish – hence the name, silverfish.
Silverfish are able to survive for months without food – this means that they are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate entirely. The more food that is available to them, the more they will thrive – professional pest control is therefore encouraged.
