Clothes Moths on the Increase in the UK – Sales of Anti-Moth Products Up Year on Year with the Mild Winter Weather!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 25, 2012 -- Clothes moths incidence is on the increase – with central heating being widespread and the unseasonably mild winter weather this year, we’ve seen significant increase in customers with moth problems and the clothes moth lifecycle has extended to become a year round problem for many people.

Typically change in the seasons brings about the discovery of clothes moth damage with unpacking of knitwear and other items that may have been in storage for some time and not often seen for months. Moths love quiet, dark places to lay their eggs to give their larvae the time and conditions to feed without risk of detection and disturbance. Now’s the time when they get detected, often to the dismay of people finding holes in treasured garments and evidence of moth larvae in wardrobes and drawers.

We’ve seen far greater numbers of customers call us for advice this winter and well before the spring season when the adult moths start to fly. Not only are sales of anti-moth products up at MothPrevention.com, but the number of people searching on the internet for advice about and solutions to their moth problems is increasingly significantly – there’s over 5,000 people a day looking for help, and that’s just in the UK!

Adam Smith, Director at MothPrevention.com, commented:

“Our sales of anti-moth products have doubled year on year and our customers have been increasingly unhappy to discover the presence of moth larvae and the associated damage to their clothes and carpets in particular. We’ve seen customers increasingly look for comprehensive ways of eradicating moth infestations and then protecting themselves from the chance of a recurrence – our complete moth control kits with 6 months protection are increasingly popular. It seems like the increase in moths in the home is a trend that is here to stay.”

It is recommended that removing a moth infestation starts with a thorough clean and vacuum of affected areas, treatment with a ‘moth killer’ product such as a fumigation ‘fogger’ or anti-moth spray to ensure that any infestation is stopped immediately, then followed by thorough airing and cleaning of all wool, cashmere and silk clothes, and lastly, the use of ongoing deterrent products such as cedar wood or herbal based moth repellents.
