Heat Treatment

Moth Heat Treatment

Our professional moth heat treatment service eliminates carpet moths and clothes moths by raising temperatures high enough to destroy eggs, larvae, and adult insects within carpets and clothing. It’s our top recommended method for London homes and businesses to get rid of moths quickly and thoroughly.

The Most Effective Treatment for Textile Moth Infestations

If you want to eradicate moths effectively the first time around without using pest-killing chemicals, we recommend our moth heat treatment service.

This is one of the most reliable ways to eliminate textile moth infestations in London properties. Unlike chemical treatment, when we heat-treat your home, this method penetrates into the entire space at a level that moths simply can’t survive.

The thoroughness of heat treatment is what makes it so effective at removing moths. The heat moves through each room evenly and reaches deep into carpets, inside wardrobes, soft furnishings, and other dark places where moth larvae tend to develop. That means that instead of just dealing with the moths you can see, it wipes out eggs, larvae, and adult moths in one go. There’s nothing left behind that could start the cycle again.

How Does Our Moth Heat Treatment Work?

Our professional heat treatment for moths works by using specialised equipment to gradually raise temperatures in the affected rooms. As the temperature increases, heat penetrates into materials and spaces where moth infestations commonly develop, including:

Wool carpets and rugs

Underlay and floor edges

Wardrobes and clothing

Upholstered furniture

Cracks and hidden harbourage areas

At these temperatures, adult moths are eliminated. And, importantly, moth eggs are destroyed, and larvae can’t survive. That’s the best reassurance that your infestation has been dealt with completely, usually within a single treatment.

Heat Treatment for Carpet Moth Infestations

Carpet moths tend to settle in the places you don’t check very often, like under furniture, along skirting boards, or in rooms that don’t see much foot traffic. If you’ve got wool carpets or natural fibre rugs, they’re an ideal feeding ground for larvae, which can quietly cause damage long before you notice anything is wrong.

Our heat treatment tackles the problem at its source. Instead of just treating the surface, it drives heat deep into the carpet fibres and right down into the underlay, reaching the areas where larvae are actually living and feeding. That means you’re not left dealing with the same issue again a few weeks later.

Heat Treatment for Clothes Moth Infestations

If clothes moths have made their way into your wardrobe, they’ll damage anything made with natural fibres like wool, cashmere, or silk. The challenge here is that you can’t safely treat clothing with insecticidal sprays, and that’s why heat treatment is usually our recommended professional option.

We’ll raise the temperature of the wardrobe itself, as well as nearby storage spaces and soft furnishings. This method reaches the spots moths rely on to breed and develop, so instead of picking off parts of the problem, you’re dealing with the whole infestation in one go.
