Get ready for autumn pest activity
As temperatures begin to fall, rats and mice may seek food and shelter around homes, sheds and outbuildings. Spiders and silverfish can also become more noticeable indoors, while clothes moths remain a concern in wardrobes and stored textiles.
Prepare early with products selected for common autumn pest problems.
Rat and mouse control
Compare traps, bait stations and rodent-control products for different locations and levels of activity.
Spider and silverfish traps
Place discreet monitoring traps in undisturbed areas where crawling pests are commonly seen.
Safety note:
Always read the product label and follow all usage, placement and safety instructions. Keep pest-control products away from children and non-target animals as directed.

A clearer approach to box tree moth and caterpillar control
Box tree care is easier when you separate treatment, monitoring and ongoing prevention.
1. Identify
Check box plants for webbing, damaged leaves, caterpillars and other signs of activity.
2. Treat
Choose a suitable product for active caterpillar pressure and apply it according to its instructions.
3. Monitor
Use a box tree moth trap and species-specific pheromone lure to monitor adult moth activity.
4. Maintain
Replace lures when required and continue checking plants throughout the active period.
Identify the pest before choosing the product
Similar symptoms can have different causes. Our advice centre helps you recognise common household and garden pests, understand when they are active and select an appropriate product.
Pheromone traps imitate a species-specific chemical signal. Discover what they catch, what they cannot do and how to choose the correct lure.
Where to Place Silverfish Traps
Silverfish usually travel close to edges, cracks and concealed areas. Strategic trap placement can reveal where activity is concentrated and whether damp needs attention.
Clothes Moths or Food Moths? How to Tell the Difference
The room in which moths appear often provides the first clue. Compare clothes moths and food moths before selecting a trap or treating the source.
