I've always been fanatical about checking clothing for moths since that time years ago when the little buggers feasted on a coat of mine that had been stored in the attic, and there's been no sign of them in my clothes, or my yarn stash, which I also check regularly.
This evening I moved a large, heavy display cabinet in the sitting room to vacuum, and found a large, threadbare patch, and signs of active moth larvae. I've ordered some spray to kill them, which arrives tomorrow, and as luck should have it we were planning on replacing the carpet next month, it will now be taken out (and burned!!) a little earlier than anticipated, and we will live with bare boards for a few weeks.
I'm massively paranoid about infestations in the rest of the house. I've not noticed anything, but my reading on the subject tells me they like dark, undisturbed spaces, so there is going to be some serious furniture shifting going on in the next couple of days.
Does anyone else have experience of dealing with moths? Do I need to be using those fumigation bomb things? Or do I need to get the professionals in? Any advice on the subject would be much appreciated.
