Review: Easy to use and effective - Seems to have worked effectively
Review: Waging war against carpet moths - It works! There are four stages of the moths life cycle; Egg, Larvae, Pupae, Moth. Once the eggs hatch the tiny larvae feed rapidly and grow. This is when damage to carpets occurs. Whilst growing they start to cover themselves in a protective casing made from the fibres of whatever they're munching. The cocoon eventually seals completely for the pupae stage before the adult moth emerges. The adult moths don't actually cause the damage to fabrics. I've purchased foggers + spray + powder to treat my home. It doesn't appear to be a major infestation BUT I have found empty cocoons in other rooms in the house and thought it wise to be very thorough. It's all very well treating one room, when they're setting up camp and continuing the breeding cycle in the next one. Each treatment method offers different advantages! Powder: kills eggs, larvae & moths, but has to come in to direct contact with the creature. Spray: kills larvae but only once ingested by the creature and it takes a few days to kill it off Fogger: kills moths but NOT larvae (no matter what the claims of some outlets; it's best to read the manufacturers data sheet) So a combination of all three is wise for initial treatment! What you're trying to achieve is eventually breaking the life-cycle of the moth! NO single application of a single product will do this! I originally purchased foggers - thinking they'd kill moth larvae as well as the adult moth - and wrote an extensive review on the success of these, which may be of use to some if they've not encountered these little blighters before. In short, foggers only treat moths (i.e. the adults), but are still worth using since they permeate the air and do a good job of killing them off (moths don't eat fabric so aren't affected by the spray). Spray treated fabric has to be ingested by the larvae in order to work, so it's worth buying a spray and being thorough with spray, however, spray doesn't kill eggs. Powder kills, eggs, larvae and moths but they must come in to contact with the powder and it's not easy to get the powder everywhere; nor easy to spot eggs; nor ideal if you have young children/pets as powder it will leave a residue after vacuuming. Also, larvae are known to climb up to the ceiling before closing the cocoon in preparation for turning in to a moth and it's a bit difficult to get powder up there! So in addition to the foggers, I purchased the Rentokil carpet moth powder which I've left down now for a few days beneath furniture where it looks like there's a couple of carpet threads attacked - be sure animals/kids cannot reach these areas! Hopefully larvae I've missed, will be confronted with the powder which I'll vacuum up in a few days (I've found the powder doesn't stain the carpet, but you'd be wise to patch test first). It has a single jet when dispensing and it's not easy to 'sprinkle'. I've opted to use this powder in areas inaccessible to pets/kids area so I can leave it down for a little while to 'do it's thing' and act as a preventative. The jet dispensing means it's great for squirting under skirting boards etc. I've dispensed some beneath the carpet in the originally infected area. I've also bought a spray "Carpet moth killer" by Rug Remedy, sold on desertcart by Pinks Farm. The rug remedy spray drys in a couple of hours and you must keep away from the product while it's drying (keeps pets and kids away too!) The spray doesn't kill eggs or sterilize them. It slowly kills larvae BUT only once they've started to eat treated fabrics. I've used the spray on rugs (both sides), furniture (underneath and back of the sofa etc) as well as all around the edges of the carpet in every room (I used two bottles and again have just bought more!) The spray from pinks farm is supposed to give protection for a while, so I'm hoping all these precautions/treatments along with the re-fog will eradicate the blighters. A couple of pest control websites I've looked at recommended a 50cm band around the edge of the carpet if you're using a spray. I chose Rug Remedies brand but there are other brands available including one from the manufacturer of the foggers. Be aware sealed cocoons are impervious to EVERYTHING except a pair of tweezers! Regular thorough vacuuming is a must, this will gradually help get rid of the pest too. Do: Be prepared to retreat if necessary (and that's highly likely!) Do: Check walls and ceilings when vacuuming (including behind bookcases etc.) as the silk cocoons/pupae can be found fastened in these places also!! Moths will likely lay close to a food source but in reality moths lay eggs ANYWHERE and the eggs are sticky. If eggs are up high the larvae will simply drop to the carpet and feed when it emerges. Remember this! Do: Steam treat the filter after vacuuming if you're using a bagless vacuum; and immediately throw out the bag if you're using a vacuum with bag. Do: Buy pheromone traps in order to catch the male moths (which helps break the life cycle) and also is a good indicator of future infestation. I bought two of the plastic cage 'traps' where I needed them placed on the carpet in the damaged areas (this was so the cats couldn't walk on them as the strips are unbelievably sticky and you don't want it on paws/fur!). I also bought the refills and used a piece of masking tape to stick these to walls around the house. They recommend putting them down at skirting board level, so I did but taped the strips behind furniture so the cats couldn't reach them. Do: close curtains and check in curtain folds for silk cocoons when vacuuming. Do: Know carpet moths are tiny, silvery and fairly hard to spot! They will fly but usually crawl instead. And Good Luck!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: some bigger some tiny larvae crawling on carpet (laid only one year ago) upstairs and downstairs, will this powder kill them?**
A: Yes, but you'll have to repeat a couple of times every 4-5 days to catch any larvae hatching from recently laid eggs (the life cycle is about 15 days).  You have to do this regardless of the method (fogger, powder, aerosol) you use. It may seem a nuisance but I'd do it now and stop them before they get really difficult to shift, esp as you've got new carpet.

**Q: Please can someone tell me if this product smells bad once it's applied on the carpet? Thank you.**
A: no, its fine. it does have a smell but its not extreme and much better than the flipping moths!

**Q: Will this kill cigarette beetles?**
A: The product will kill cigarette beetles and larvae but the problem could be the location the colony.  As these pests attack various dried food products as well as tobacco related items, there could be a health hazard if the colony is situated an area where you store such items.  The storage area would have to be emptied and thoroughly cleaned afterwards before re-use.  You would also have to destroy safely any contaminated products.

**Q: Can i use it on fabric or clothes**
A: No, follow the manufacturer's advice. Note the product is ONLY very toxic to aquatic organisms (e.g. Fish). This product contains a low level of permethrin which has a low acute toxicity to rats (and by implication humans) but is a skin sensitiser, so you do well not to put it on clothing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works
*by T***T on 20 April 2017*

This killed all carpet beetles straight away (I left it down for about 4 hours). Wish I'd covered my nose when I put it down as it made me cough. I bought a face mask on Amazon before I used it again and wore latex gloves. Bottle is small and one bottle just about covered the carpet in one room, so I've ordered more bottles to use on sofa, curtains etc, as bottle says use lots around carpet edges and where there are holes from where they have eaten material, and they have eaten holes in my sofa seat covers and cushions. They lay eggs on any material and the larvae eat holes in the material. I rang Rentokil and they said carpet beetles don't eat synthetic material, only natural fibres, but my sofa is synthetic. Rentokil said it must have some natural fibres in it for them to eat it. Rentokil said adult carpet beetles don't eat material - they eat spirea plants and they recommend getting rid of these as they attract carpet beetles into the property. It is only carpet beetle larvae that eat material. Rentokil said this insecticide kills carpet beetle adults and larvae but not eggs, and the eggs will hatch into larvae in 7-14 days. I was going to wait 14 days before putting more down but Rentokil said they spray insecticide down every 7-10 days, but I will put more down in 14 days. Rentokil said washing material at 60 degrees will kill the adult carpet beetles, larvae and eggs, but washing below that temperature won't kill them. Obviously can't wash jumpers etc at 60 degrees as they will shrink. Rentokil said they use heat to get rid of carpet beetles and this doesn't damage material, so if I can't get rid of them all completely I will have to get Rentokil in. Washing my curtains and sofa covers at 60 degrees didn't get rid of carpet beetles so had to wash them again on 90 degrees and that killed the adults, larvae and eggs. The eggs hatched out into larvae 5 months after I first put this insecticide down, so had to buy more and put it down again. I needed 4 bottles of this insecticide for the carpet of a large room and sofa.
