"Our home has been turned into a nightmare," the couple stated in their legal filings, alleging moth-related damage to carpets, furniture, and even food supplies. Their children's toothbrushes, they claim, were not spared.
Woodward-Fisher disputes the claims, asserting that he had no obligation to disclose the presence of moths in the house, and that repair costs would total a far more modest £162,652.
The Patarkatsishvili lawsuit highlights a broader issue: a surge in moth infestations. Organisations like English Heritage have reported a 216% increase in moths over recent years.
Experts point to two culprits: rising global temperatures and the growing use of biodegradable materials and eco-friendly insulation, which may be attracting more pests.
