How it works

Moth Heat Treatment — How It Works

Our specialist heat systems raise the temperature of your property to above 56°C — a level lethal to clothes and carpet moths at every life stage, including eggs and larvae hidden deep in wool fibres, carpet pile and furniture crevices where sprays simply can’t reach.

The main heat-treatment appointment is planned to minimise disruption, with aftercare and further treatment where required. Most London properties can be returned to within hours of treatment completing.

Why Choose Heat Treatment for Moths?

  • Penetrates deep into fabrics, carpets and furniture — targeting eggs and larvae that surface sprays miss
  • Targets all life stages with monitored heat and tailored aftercare
  • Low chemical use — heat does the work, reducing reliance on pesticide application
  • Minimal preparation required — suitable for busy households and businesses
  • Safe for families and pets once the property has cooled

Will Heat Kill Moths?

Yes — temperatures above 50°C sustained for 30 minutes destroy clothes and carpet moths at every life stage. Our industrial equipment maintains lethal heat levels throughout the treatment area, ensuring complete coverage of all harbourage areas including deep wool pile, stored garments and structural crevices where larvae hide.

Heat vs sprays

Heat Treatment vs Chemical Sprays

Heat Treatment:

  • Penetrates deep into fabrics, carpets and furniture — targeting eggs and larvae that surface sprays miss
  • Targets all life stages with monitored heat and tailored aftercare
  • Low chemical use — heat does the work, reducing reliance on pesticide application
  • Minimal preparation required — suitable for busy households and businesses
  • Same-day return to property in most cases

Chemical Sprays:

  • Surface application only — eggs and larvae hidden in deep pile and fabric folds are frequently missed
  • Multiple visits typically required — 3 to 5 treatments over several weeks
  • Heavy pesticide application — not ideal for households with children, pets or sensitivities
  • More disruptive preparation required before each visit
  • Waiting periods before re-entry after each treatment

Most effective treatment

What is the Most Effective Treatment for Moths?

Heat treatment is widely regarded as the most effective solution for eliminating clothes and carpet moths. Unlike traditional chemical sprays which may require multiple visits and still miss hidden eggs, heat treatment raises the temperature of the affected area to a level lethal to moths at every life stage — eggs, larvae and adults.

The method penetrates deep into fabrics, wardrobes, flooring cracks and underneath carpets — places where sprays consistently fail to reach. The main heat visit usually takes several hours. We provide aftercare and explain any additional treatment needed for your property.

Heat treatment is also a low-insecticide process. Rather than relying on heavy pesticide application, heat does the work — destroying every viable stage of the moth lifecycle through a tailored treatment plan. This makes it safer for households, families and pets while reducing the environmental impact of treatment compared to traditional spray-based approaches.
