Moth Infestation Treatment Guide

Scope of Works

• Confirm species & extent – inspect wardrobes, carpets and loft insulation; place pheromone traps for activity map.

• Carry‑out initial knock‑down using ULV insecticidal fog or heat treatment in affected rooms.

• Apply residual insecticide to skirting boards, wardrobes and under‑floor voids; target larval harbourage.

• Install pheromone monitors & moth traps for ongoing population check.

• Second visit (7–14 days) to re‑treat hotspots and remove spent traps.

• Issue treatment certificate & after‑care plan – laundry temperatures, vacuum regime, re‑inspection window.
  

Typical Cost (inc. VAT)

Time on Site

• Initial visit: 1 – 2 hours set‑up, treat & monitor.

• Return visit: 45–60 minutes follow‑up.

• Extra time if wardrobes need dismantling, insulation removal, or whole‑house heat pods.
  

Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Which treatment method (ULV fog, spray, heat) suits my property and fabrics?

2. How many visits are included in the quote and what triggers a re‑treat?

3. Are your insecticides HSE‑approved for use around children and pets?

4. Will you move and protect furniture or must I clear rooms first?

5. What laundry or dry‑clean protocol do you recommend for contaminated clothes?

6. How long must rooms stay vacant after treatment?

7. Do you guarantee results, and for how many months?
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Bag delicate textiles and freeze or launder at 60 °C before technicians arrive.

• Clear floor space under wardrobes and beds for skirting‑board access.

• Vacuum thoroughly but keep dust‑bag sealed for disposal by the technician.

• Inform about pets, aquariums & allergy sufferers so safer chemicals are packed.

• Reserve parking near the door for compressors and heat‑pod equipment.

• Schedule follow‑up date at booking to avoid breeding‑cycle gaps.
