If you can't tell if a hole is moth created or not Julia explains: 'Wear holes normally have a slight pull, where they have been caught or look a bit thread bear around the hole, if it was on the elbow or under the arm. Amothhole is a carefully clean hole that has been eaten very neatly.' Why am I getting lots of moths in my house? Pet flea spray kills them and will last 6 months before needing another spray, a proper one, not Bob Martins or cheap supermarket stuff, Frontline, Acclaim or one with similar ingredients. Try not to be in the room you have sprayed and leave windows open. Pest Expert Formula C is the best product I have ever found for eradicating moths. It is odourless and effective over many weeks without damaging carpets. In addition, the service is amazingly prompt and efficient. The single most effective way to stop moths from eating the carpet in your home and get rid of carpet moths for good is to hire a professional for carpet moth treatment.
The liquid clearly kills the individual larvae. And generally spraying the carpet seems to slow down the lifecycle. AND, the size of the bottle is BIG - will last for a whole house.Get busy with the vacuum: Regularly vacuuming your carpets has to be the simplest and cheapest way of getting rid of carpet moths. This should remove all eggs and larvae —just be sure to be thorough and don't neglect to vacuum under furniture and around the perimeter of the room either. Regular carpet cleaning does not always get rid of moths completely. For example, while carpet cleaning can kill eggs and larvae, adult moths might still be flying around and lay more eggs at a later date. There could alsobe eggs present on other items of furniture. Since antique and oriental rugs can be damaged by high heat, you will need to be careful if attempting to clean them yourself, or you might consider a professional cleaning service that specialises in textiles and antique fabrics. However, if you prefer DIY methods you can use baking soda and vinegar to raise the pile of the carpet, and restore its texture. All you need to do is sprinkle baking soda across your carpet, work it into the carpet with a stiff brush, and leave it overnight. The next day you should spray vinegar over the carpets. If you can hear a fizzing sound then you know it is working. Brush the carpet, then leave it to dry. Finish up by giving your carpet a good vacuum. To eliminate carpet moths, use a moth spray designed for use on carpets. You need only apply it along the edges, but ensure the treatment reaches the base of the tufts, where the larvae feed, by parting the rows with your hand – repeat after 30 days. If the infestation is serious and you’d like a professional assessment, Rentokil, offers a free survey with advice on treatment.
Set moth traps: Glue strips and moth traps are a popular way of catching and killing carpet moths and are cheap and simple to use. Try a product such as MANCHESTER MOTHMEN Moth Killer, moth traps featuring adhesive pads that attract the moths thanks to the pheromones they are impregnated with.All our Carpet Moth Killer Kits are supplied with step-by-step instructions on how to apply the carpet moth products, making treatment straightforward and hassle-free. Finally, you should get a pest control expert to assist you in eliminating the problem. A pest control technician will use the latest in safe solutions to halt the breeding cycle enough to remove the infestation. The pest control technician will then follow up to ensure the treatment has been effective. The adult moths themselves don’t eat the carpet and only live a few months, but one female can lay up to 200 eggs at a time, so it’s not difficult for an infestation to get started. How long do carpet moths live? As moths do not like extreme temperatures, try washing your rugs at a high temperature or even placing them in a sauna. You can also put them in the freezer, but make sure to leave them there for at least four weeks as moth eggs can handle cold better than heat.
My problem area is stairs, halls and landings and consequently I sometimes find carpet moths flying in other rooms although they only seem to munch in this area. I treated the carpet last week and although I have found a few moths in the lounge and bedroom, there are none in the problem area. I am keeping a close watch and if necessary I will re-fog and spray in a few weeks. Very pleased at the moment considering this was a large infestation.
Step 4 - Reduce the breeding of carpet moths in your home
We are infested with carpet moths - they are horrible! We moved into the flat about 8 months ago and obviously inherited them. Didn't notice them much over the winter (too busy giving birth...) but since the spring they are everywhere. All removable covers, curtains and other loose items should be taken outside and shaken before taking the next step. This also gives you empty space to thoroughly vacuum, dust and, if necessary, apply specialist treatments to high risk areas described above. Step 7 - Continue to monitor for Carpet Moths Effective Treatments for Carpet Moths Using natural treatments is harder work, but will yield results. The mattress although looking perfectly OK had to go and we cut it open really to justify what we were doing and sure enough there were thousands of these cotton wool type cocoons in the horsehair and lambs wool filling of the bed. Horrifying. The mattress cost a fortune, because of these natural fibres. We now have a completely man made fibre one. No wool in the carpet, and my clothing in the wardrobe is all bagged, its really inconvenient but until we are sure that there is not one single pair left to develop into a breeding pair we are willing to put up with the inconvenience. I can hardly believe that the bed that I so loved to sleep in was a hive.....makes me shiver.
If you have an established infestation across two or more rooms you might want to consider our Carpet Moth Killer Kit - 2-3 Rooms. With more than 2 times the content for less than double the price it provides a powerful kit at a great price.
Professional carpet moth treatment
Unfortunately, simply removing the carpet will not help as the moths are likely to have invaded the entire room by the time you notice the infestation. Instead, you will need fast and effective control methods to get the entire room moth-free. That depends. A larva can develop into a month in as little as two months if it has the right conditions of heat and humidity. If you have suffered damage, you may want to keep carpet and tapestry moth traps in place throughout the season (March to November) to monitor their potential presence. In the USA, for example, warmer Southern States from Florida across to Texas and then to California, carpet moths are often a year-round problem.
