Moth larvae don't take kindly to the acidic nature of vinegar. Make up a solution of equal-parts white vinegar and water and spray directly onto infected areas. To help repel moths, wipe down floors, counters and the insides of drawers and cupboards with the solution. You can spray directly on fabrics, but be careful as some fabrics such as silk and suede can be damaged by the vinegar (if you’re unsure, do a spot test on an inconspicuous part of the material). Mint We recommend spraying this at the bottom of your wardrobe to allow it to rise up through your clothes and keep the doors closed for 24 hours,' says Julia the creator of the Total Wardrobe Care moth spray. 'Replenish every week or so.' We bought one of the carpet moth kits. Having looked long and hard, this was the best value kit we could find online. Furthermore, it worked brilliantly. No more moths! Moths are especially attracted to stains, sweat and any general mess on clothes, so keeping them clean is paramount in the fight against moths which you can turbocharge with the right detergent and cleaning at the right temperature. The professional-grade carpet moth insecticides in our Kits are supplied by market leaders Rentokil and Pest Expert and are HSE-approved for amateur use, making them the most powerful carpet moth killers available to the DIY user, delivering unbeatable results.
Pantry moths, which love to feed on stored foods, are usually one or more of the following: Indian Meal Moths, Mediterranean Pantry Moths, White Shouldered House Moths, or Brown House Moths. If you're dealing with a pantry moth infestation, we recommend using Dr. Killigan's Premium Pantry Moth Traps. They live on natural fibres, and often mattresses are filled with horsehair and wool, especially the more expensive ones, which is ironic. These creatures can live for up to two years in that state eating the inside of your mattress rather than the content of the wardrobe because of the supply of natural fibres in the mattress. Also the carpet moth as it is commonly called does not fly about it moves on the floor and therefore woollen carpets or part wool carpets are at risk as well. Excellent Service. The kit arrived next day as promised. Good clear instructions only time will tell if we have been successful in eradicating the moths. However happy to recommend this company.If you have been unsuccessful in repairing the carpet moth damage yourself, consider asking a professional for help. As a final option, it may be time to replace the rug or carpet. When it comes to the washing machine setting if you're clothes can take it clean them on a high heat above 50 degrees. 50 degrees is the temperature that will start to kill moth eggs or larvae. Alternatively, if you need to wash at a lower temperature you have the option to either steam your clothes to kill any eggs or larvae. Adult female moths lay larvae in carpets, which, when hatched, will munch away at a material called keratin. Keratin is found in natural fibres such as wool or silk, making any carpet or clothing with any such content a target. It’s also present in organic matter such as dead skin and hair (that includes pet hair, so if you have a cat or dog in your house you might need to pay special attention). Expert Formula ‘P’ Fogger : A powerful fumigating aerosol device specifically designed for safe use within a home, Foggers release an insecticidal gas that expands to completely fill a room, penetrating even hard-to-reach areas to kill all adult moths. Unlike old-fashioned smoke bombs, Foggers do not present any fire risk as they do not require a naked flame; therefore, they should not be confused with smoke bombs marketed elsewhere as 'Foggers', which need to be lit and left smouldering!
The service was excellent. The moth killer seems to have done the job but it is a little early to know yet. 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? 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?I also use to sleep with the window open, but after reading that these breeding moths can get in at night and start the cocoon process off again, I sleep with the bedroom door ajar to let some air circulate instead. Not exactly. Adult moths do not have mouths, so those irritating holes are caused by moth eggs and caterpillar-like larvae chewing through your clothes. So while seeing moths flying around in your home is a problem, the main issue is their larvae, which are doing all the damage. You are going to have to cut up and dump your old carpets sooner or later, so do it sooner. Look in the loft for old carpets, clothes or dead birds that they can live on as well. If you are buying new carpets get them treated with mothproofer before they are fitted. Use a rubber underlay rather than natural felt. At Robert Dyas, we understand how much of a nuisance moths can be by coming into your home uninvited and making their way into your clothes, furniture, and food items. This is why we’re pleased to offer a range of moth control products to help remove these unwanted guests from your home. 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.
