What is heat treatment for moths?

The best and fastest method of controlling moths is heat treatment. Moths at every stage of their life will be instantly killed in clothes and carpets by the high temperature.

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 56°C. At this temperature, insects of all stages of development will die.

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. The entire treatment is chemical-free, without pesticide residue.

Heat treatment effectively kills moth eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. This is crucial as larvae are often the most damaging stage, feeding on natural fibers like wool, silk, and fur.

As one of the most efficient pest control methods, heat treatment gives up to a 100% guarantee and is the perfect option for people with health concerns or who want an environment-friendly pest solution.

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