The Tapestry Moth or Carpet Moth (Trichophaga tapetzella) is found all
around the world. In common with clothes moths, the carpet moth is very
small. If you notice small balding patches in the corners and at the
edges of your carpets, the chances are that you have an infestation of
carpet moths. This is a problem that needs immediate attention because
it will continue to get worse. Carpet moths are stubborn when it comes
to leaving your home! Use a thorough treatment routine to ensure the
carpet moths are completely eradicated, as follows:

1. CLEAN - Move furniture away from edges of the carpet and thoroughly
vacuum (both sides if possible) also paying particular attention to
under furniture and along skirting boards

2. KILL - After an initial powder treatment and further vacuuming, spray
the carpet deep into the pile to kill any eggs and / or larvae. For
severe infestations, Fumers will be required.

3. MONITOR AND REFRESH - Place moth traps close to affected areas to
monitor for adult moths and to break the breeding cycle. Keep moth traps
current and consider respraying regularly – please remember, with warmer
houses carpet moth damage and infestations are now a year-round problem

visitors.

Sorry, moths don't live long enough to reproduce when they chow down on
nylon carpeting. It works better than pesticide.
