Moths around Everton Park tend to fall into two groups, pantry moths drawn to stored grains, cereal and pet food, and clothes moths that settle into wardrobes, drawers and stored woollens. Small holes in fabric or webbing near a pantry shelf are usually the first clue something has moved in.
When you call, tell us whether the moths are around food storage or clothing and fabric, since the two need a different approach. The crew booked for Everton Park checks pantry shelving, cupboard corners and stored linen or clothing, along with any nearby cracks or gaps the moths may be using to move between rooms.

Older brick homes around Everton Park with built-in wardrobes and limited airflow tend to see clothes moths more often than newer builds with better ventilation, particularly where clothing sits in storage for long stretches.
Storing dry goods such as flour, rice and pet food in sealed containers rather than their original packaging makes it much harder for pantry moths to settle back in after a visit. For clothes moths, airing out wardrobes occasionally and avoiding storing worn clothing for long stretches both help, since moths are drawn to fabric that has not been disturbed. Older brick homes around Everton Park with built-in wardrobes and limited airflow tend to see moths return more often than homes with better ventilation. If webbing or holes turn up again a few weeks after the visit, call and mention which room and which type of moth you are seeing, so the crew booked for Everton Park can check whether the source has changed.
