Safe heat treatment for moth removal

What is heat treatment for moths?

The best and fastest method of controlling moths is heat treatment. Heat treatment helps eliminate moths at every stage of their life cycle, including eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.

Heat treatment is the best method of moth pest control, as it penetrates deep underneath carpets to destroy larvae and eggs. During the treatment, the temperature of a room rises above 60°C. At this temperature, insects of all stages of development will die.

Heat penetrates fabrics, cracks, crevices, and other hiding places where moths and their larvae reside, ensuring comprehensive treatment.

The service provides an effective solution against moth infestation. During the actual heat treatment process, the pest expert will use a professional heater, so the temperature is high enough to kill off the moths and their eggs.

To improve long-term results, a targeted residual treatment is applied after the heat treatment to help eliminate hidden activity and reduce the risk of moths returning. If additional treatment is required, clients can arrange one follow-up visit at no extra charge, typically around two weeks after the initial treatment session.

How heat treatment works for moths

Most customers can book their moth heat treatment directly through our online booking form. For larger properties with more than four bedrooms, a survey may be arranged to assess the infestation and determine the most suitable treatment approach.

2. Prepare Your Property

Our team will explain how to prepare your property before the appointment, and full preparation instructions will also be included in your confirmation email to help ensure the treatment runs smoothly.

3. Professional Heat Treatment

Our technicians use specialised equipment to gradually raise the room temperature to 60°C, helping eliminate moths at every life stage. A targeted residual treatment is also applied to support long-term results.

4. Ongoing Protection

Heat treatment helps eliminate active infestations quickly and can reduce the risk of further damage to carpets, clothing, fabrics, and other vulnerable household items when addressed early.

Moth removal preparation steps

Before the treatment, declutter the affected rooms as much as possible so heated air can circulate properly throughout the space. The more organised and accessible the room is, the more effective the treatment can be.

Items stored under beds, inside wardrobes, or in affected areas such as shoes, toys, books, bags, and other loose belongings should be placed in open laundry baskets or stored as instructed by our team. Avoid leaving unnecessary items on floors or in areas that need to be treated.

Clothing, bedding, and other washable fabrics from affected areas should be washed. A small number of garments that cannot be washed, such as coats or delicate clothing items, can be left hanging so they are exposed to the heat. However, large amounts of clothing should not remain on hangers, as overcrowding can restrict airflow and reduce treatment effectiveness.

Please move furniture slightly away from walls where possible and ensure technicians can access carpets, wardrobes, skirting boards, and other areas where moth activity may be present. Your confirmation email will include full preparation instructions before your appointment.

Once the treatment is completed and your technician confirms it is safe to re-enter the property, air out the treated areas for 5 to 10 minutes to allow fresh air to circulate throughout the space.

Please avoid vacuuming or mopping the treated areas for 5 to 7 days, as this allows the residual insecticide to settle properly and deliver maximum effectiveness.
