How do I get rid of moths in my house? 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.

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. It’s also a good idea to give any rugs, furniture fabrics, cushion covers and clothing an airing as moths like humid spots. If possible, hang outside in sunlight (especially if anything has been in storage awhile). Finally, place homemade moth repellents (like the ones described above) in high-risk areas; cedar wood will also keep the pests at bay. Does vinegar kill carpet moths? I put fine nets on the windows, attached with adhesive hook & loop tape but only buy the hook side, in rolls. It reduces the amount that fly in, and as a bonus keeps mosquitos out too.

We recommend the use of the provided mask & gloves when using any of our Spray, Fumers or Powder Treatments 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.Once you have an infestation, you have to work hard to clear it.

Regular vacuuming removes eggs and larvae that might be present. Vacuum edges and hidden areas thoroughly. Reduce humidity in your home since moths thrive in damp environments. Properly store woolens and natural fibers, which moths prefer, in airtight containers or garment bags. Use moth repellents like cedar balls or lavender sachets in storage areas. Rotate and expose carpets to sunlight periodically to deter moth activity. Regularly inspect carpets for signs of moths, such as small holes or cocoons. By practicing these precautions, you can significantly reduce the risk of carpet moth infestations. Originally published 4 October 2020 Make your voice matter

Customer confidence 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. 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.
