Moth heat treatment
ThermoPest’s Moth Heat Treatment in London offers a heat-led solution, with minimal chemical use, to eliminate clothes moths and carpet moths (Tineola bisselliella) at every stage of life — eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Our certified technicians use advanced heat technology to safely protect carpets, wardrobes, and entire properties across London.
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.
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
Most effective treatment
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.
