Comparing Your Options
During heat treatment, we utilise specialised high-powered indirect-fired heaters to safely and efficiently increase a room’s temperature to between 49°C and 60°C, keeping it within this deadly range for an extended duration.
These industrial-grade heaters are precisely calibrated to achieve the specific temperatures required to eradicate carpet moths at all stages of their life cycle, including eggs, which are often unaffected by chemical treatments.
Heat treatment works by disrupting the vital proteins and enzymes that carpet moths depend on for survival. This approach targets the pest biologically, ensuring thorough elimination. Unlike chemical treatments, which may not penetrate deep hiding places, heat seeps into every nook and cranny — leaving carpet moths with no chance to escape.
At ThermoPest, our carpet moth treatments employ proven methods tested on numerous infestations. To support this, we offer a 60-day guarantee after any moth heat treatment:
If any signs of moth activity are detected within 60 days, we will re-treat the area at no additional cost.*

Yes, heat treatment is a chemical-free method, making it safe for humans and pets. However, it’s advisable to vacate the premises during the treatment process.
Insecticide sprays may not kill moth eggs during the initial application. Multiple treatments ensure that newly hatched larvae are eradicated, breaking the life cycle of the moths.
Regular vacuuming, maintaining low humidity levels, and storing natural fibre items properly can help prevent moth infestations. Our technicians will provide detailed preventative advice tailored to your situation.

Yes, but it’s a straightforward process — and we’ll guide you every step of the way. You’ll receive a simple preparation form with clear instructions, including which items to remove, how to declutter key areas, and which personal items (like clothing or bedding) may need to be washed on a hot cycle before or after treatment.
There’s no need to overhaul your entire space — just a few easy tasks to make sure the heat treatment works safely and effectively.
Carpet moths can enter homes through open windows, doors, or cracks, or they may hitch a ride on second-hand rugs, furniture, or clothing. They thrive in dark, undisturbed areas like under furniture or in closets.
The timeline depends on the severity of the infestation and the treatment method. Heat treatments can often be treated in a single day and chemical sprays over 3-4 visits.
Regular hoovering, especially in hidden areas, and storing rugs or textiles in sealed containers can help. Using moth repellents and keeping your home well-ventilated also reduces the risk of re-infestation and the need for carpet moth treatments.
Moth heat treatment works by raising the temperature of an infested area or item to a level that is lethal to moths in all life stages—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults (above 49°C for a sustained period). This non-chemical method penetrates fabrics, furniture, or stored goods, effectively killing moths without leaving harmful residues, making moth heat treatment a popular choice for eco-conscious pest control.
