Smoke does not leave any residue and this it’s only effective within the adult insect stage, not the larvae or egg. The room should then be closed, vacated for at least 2-3 hours to allow the gas to disperse, and ventilated thoroughly upon re-entering.

Often sold (perhaps by hanger manufacturers) as anti-moth, but only seems to have a limited effect, even when regularly ‘topped up’ with a spray. Incorporating premium grade, HSE-approved carpet moth killer products from market leaders Pest Expert, this kit provides everything you need to get rid of carpet moths.I know Simon has had limited success with sprays, and this product isn’t labeled for use on clothing. This is ideal for rapid knockdown of nuisance pests including, moth, flies, cluster flies, fleas, bed bugs and many other crawling and flying insects. Lastly, if you have somewhere (like a tailor) that can just do a sponge and press on it, without the need for dry cleaning, that’s even better. The Pest Expert Formula 'P' Super Fumer is a powerful 11g insecticidal smoke bomb containing permethrin which has a rapid knockdown effect on adult moths.

Some mention that the smell does vanish after a while, while others say that it made the room smell smokey for a few hours but the odour disappeared quite quickly. I plan on wearing a respirator when spraying, and essentially swapping it out with the Formula P fumer in Simon’s post. It’s not a case of running a vacuum over the carpet and thinking that’s done – at least once a month, and particularly during the spring and summer months, you need to thoroughly go round the edge of the carpet with a nozzle on the vacuum.

Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

You put the container on a plate or tile, light the wick, and it burns briefly before turning into smoke, which issues into the room for 10-20 seconds. Formula C+ also leaves behind an insecticidal residue that is effective for up to 12 weeks, offering long-lasting carpet moth control. I’ve also seen your readers get more soulful and philosophical (the current beard piece is Exhibit A – those comments are metacognative delight in action) through osmosis.My experience is that moths can get out of just about anything that isn’t airtight and can eat holes in thin plastic. The resulting insecticidal smoke will penetrate all areas leaving no unsightly deposit, tainting or odour.

This makes them suitable for use in various settings, including homes and businesses, without causing disruption or requiring extensive cleanup. Additionally, the thorough coverage provided by these smoke bombs makes them a valuable component of a comprehensive moth treatment plan. Although they might be more likely to smoke in a photograph because it often looks good – smoke is atmospheric, it gives you something natural to do with your hands. The best way to protect your valuables from moth damage is to put in preventative measures and monitor signs of an infestation to counter an infestation early.Package directions generally indicate that you put mothballs in an airtight container alongside the clothing you wish to protect from moths. It would certainly help, but I’d say if you only wore them that often, you should still be wary of moths. Also interestingly, the only not clean wool thing i had over summer was wax walker liner, but moths ate unworn and washed knitwear. Yes unfortunately they do eat cotton and I have the pictures and first hand experience to confirm it.
