Clothes Moth Treatment in Beaconsfield — Wool Carpet Experts
Patchy pile along the skirting, little “rice-like” cases, and that sand-like dust? That’s clothes/carpet moth larvae eating keratin. Our Beaconsfield team specialises in wool-safe, edge-focused treatments that stop the chew and protect your carpets, rugs and wardrobes.
Why Our Wool-Focused Method Works
- Proper ID first: Common/Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella) vs Case-bearing (Tinea pellionella)—we tailor the plan.
- Edge priority: larvae live in edges, thresholds and under furniture, not in the open. That’s where we treat.
- Residual + IGR: professional residuals kill, IGR breaks the life cycle so it actually ends.
- Wardrobe strategy: garments get storage guidance and targeted protection to stop re-seeding rooms.
Our Treatment Plan (Start to Finish)
- Survey & ID: confirm species; map damaged zones, webbing, frass and larval cases.
- Prep clean: slow HEPA vacuum along skirtings, stair treads, thresholds and under large furniture.
- Targeted application: wool-safe residual to edges/voids + IGR overlay for life-cycle control.
- Monitoring: pheromone traps placed and labelled; simple trend-check instructions.
- Follow-up: revisit to catch late hatchers; top-up any stubborn zones and sign off.
Is It Safe For Homes With Kids & Pets?
Yes. We use targeted, low-odour placements on edges/voids and provide clear re-entry times. No fog-and-hope circus.
Prep Checklist (Five Minutes Well Spent)
- Expose skirting edges; lift small rugs and clear under sofas/beds where practical.
- Bag/box woollens you’re storing (clean first) and reduce cardboard clutter.
- Vacuum before we arrive if you can; empty the bag/canister outside.
- Plan pet/child access around the short drying window we’ll give you.
Aftercare That Keeps It Solved
- Monthly edge day with the crevice tool (the boring bit that saves carpets).
- Store woollens clean in sealed bins or vacuum bags.
- Keep pheromone traps ticking in high-risk rooms for early warning.
- Rotate and lift rugs; ventilate low-use rooms.

FAQs
Will treatment stain my carpets?
No. Treatments are applied to edges/voids and are designed for domestic settings and wool fibres.
How long until activity stops?
Feeding drops quickly as larvae hit treated zones. We follow up to ensure the trend hits zero.
Do you treat wardrobes as well?
Yes—targeted placements plus storage guidance so clothes don’t re-seed the carpets.
Do I need to replace damaged areas?
Usually not. After treatment and cleaning, only severe bald patches may need repair/patch-in.
