Carpet Moths Treatment Brisbane

Carpet moths are both disgusting and destructive. During their short lives, they lay hundreds of eggs, and their larvae eat away at human hair, skin, sweat, carpets, soft furnishings, and clothing. They can blaze a trail of destruction through your home, resulting in threadbare carpet, ruined upholstery, and garments full of small holes. As soon as you see the signs, you should turn to carpet moth treatment as soon as possible to protect your home and your possessions.

Signs of a Carpet Moth Infestation

It’s easy for carpet moths to go undetected. They’re a lot smaller than most of the moths you see in your home, they rarely fly, and their eggs are extremely hard to see by the naked eye. Instead, the most common signs of carpet moths you’re likely to notice are:

DAMAGE

This is the main indication that carpet moths have taken over your home. Check your whole carpet, including the frequently neglected areas like behind furniture, for threadbare patches that may be no bigger than your hand. Remember that despite their name, carpet moths are hungry for more than just carpet. These creatures eat keratin, which is widely found in other materials like clothing, rugs, and fibres.

LARVAE

Female carpet moths can lay up to 100 eggs at a time, so larvae are definitely a sign of a carpet moth infestation. These larvae look like maggots commonly found in warm, dark spaces. Larvae absorb the dye from your carpet, frequently taking on its colour and blending in.

DROPPINGS

One of the calling cards of carpet moths is the small black or brown droppings that look like pepper and can be found in carpet fabrics and crevices.

LARVAL SHELLS

Carpet moths shed their skin throughout their lifetimes, leaving the shells of their former bodies behind.

Carpet Moth Treatment

How do you permanently remove moths from your carpet? You can use natural treatment types or call the professionals for complete carpet moth treatment. Let’s take a closer look at your options. Here’s how to get rid of carpet moths.

NATURAL CARPET MOTH TREATMENT

Natural treatment may reduce the number of carpet moths in your home, but it rarely eradicates them completely. To give yourself the best possible chance, give your carpets a thorough vacuum and make sure you target the hard-to-reach, rarely-used areas. Spraying white vinegar on carpets is a powerful method of dealing with moths, while you should wash soft furnishings in warm, soapy water. Make sure you re-wash them regularly to prevent a re-infestation.

BLUE CHIP’S PROFESSIONAL CARPET MOTH TREATMENT

Blue Chip Termite & Pest Control provides a highly effective form of professional carpet moth infestation treatment. First, we identify the problem areas. Then, based on the size of the infestation, we choose the approved chemicals to give you the best possible result. When we’re ready to spray, you’ll need to move as much furniture out of the way as possible to give us access to the harbourage areas with the highest concentration of eggs and larvae, which will be hiding in cool, dark places under furniture that has not been moved in a long time.

Our pest control for carpet moths involves a mix of two chemicals. The first is a surface spray that is safe for humans but fatal for carpet moths. The second is a growth inhibitor to halt the breeding cycle of the pests. We’ll also put attractant stations in wardrobes and closets with a special pheromone to attract the moths—don’t worry, it has no smell. The pheromone traps only attract male moths and help to break the breeding cycle.

Why Carpet Moths Can Be a Problem

Carpet moths are a significant and significantly expensive problem to have. While they won’t harm humans or pets, these pests are irresistibly drawn to natural fibres like wool and fur. They can cause extensive damage to your carpets, rugs, curtains, clothes and other fabrics, which is expensive to restore. Carpet moths cause the most damage during the larval stage, and the 200+ eggs they can lay throughout a lifetime gives them plenty of opportunity to wreak destruction.
