Moth Treatment

Professional Moth Treatment Methods

Professional moth treatment focuses on eliminating infestations affecting
wool carpets, clothing, rugs and other natural fibre textiles.

Professional Solutions for Carpet and Clothes Moth Infestations

Moth larvae feed on materials containing keratin such as wool, cashmere and silk, which means infestations can damage both carpets and wardrobe textiles if left untreated.

Effective moth treatment targets the entire life cycle of the insect (eggs, larvae and adult moths), while also treating the areas where infestations develop, such as carpets, skirting boards and wardrobes.

Several professional treatment methods are used depending on the severity of the infestation and the areas affected.

Understanding Textile Moth Infestations

The two most common household infestations involve:

Carpet moths

Developing within wool carpets and rugs

Clothes moths

Infesting wardrobes and stored garments

Professional moth treatment aims to eliminate larvae and eggs while preventing further breeding cycles.

While adult moths are often the first visible sign, the real damage is caused by larvae feeding on natural fibres.

Professional Moth Treatment Options

Several professional treatment methods can be used to eradicate moth infestations. Each method targets different stages of the infestation and different areas of the property.

Heat Treatment

Advanced Single Visit Solution

Heat treatment is the most effective solution for established infestations.

By raising temperatures to levels lethal for moths, heat penetrates carpets, underlays and floor voids to eliminate eggs, larvae and adult moths in one treatment.

Heat treatment is particularly effective for:

Because clothing cannot be treated with insecticidal sprays, heat treatment is the only safe professional method for eliminating moth infestations affecting garments and wardrobe textiles.

Spray Treatments

Structured 3 Visit Programme

Professional insecticidal sprays are used to treat carpets and harbourage areas where moth larvae develop.

Sprays are typically applied to:

This treatment is commonly used to control carpet infestations and larval activity along carpet edges, helping break the moth breeding cycle.

ULV Fumigation

Advanced Single Visit Solution

ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) fumigation uses specialised insecticides dispersed into the air to reach areas where moths may hide.

This method allows treatment to penetrate areas such as:

Fumigation can rapidly reduce active moth populations and is often used when infestations are widespread or difficult to reach.

Monitoring and Prevention

Monitoring helps detect ongoing moth activity and reduce the risk of reinfestation.

Professional pheromone traps can help:

Monitoring is particularly useful in larger homes, commercial properties or buildings with recurring infestations.
