You need the whole treatment. Look on Amazon though Robert Dyas do Rentakill products. I used the treatments for carpet moths ending with a fumer bomb thing. Best you then go out of the house for a few hours and open all the windows for a while once back as it does leave a bit of a smell for a while. It did work.

What do you mean the whole treatment? Traps plus a fumer?
Are rentokil brand effective? Seems a few different ones on amazon
Thanks!

I’m glad you added the end but on... I have no idea what moth fuming is but the title intrigued me and I thought you were just angry about a moth GrinGrinGrin

End bit!

(I also hope you get the moth problem under control!)

Had a moth problem myself and am hearing more and more people saying they are infested. I just used, traps, powder and sprays. I now keep traps around as a precaution.

Make sure you check under furniture legs, washing baskets etc., they love carpets.

I used powder around edges of carpet, vacuumed, spray, which is left on, then finally a fumer and left the house for a few hours. Also left traps just in case any remained or hatched out, but no sign of any left.

Fortunately I don’t seem to have a clothes moths problem but that’s probably because I am fanatical about using moth proof products in wardrobes and drawers. I do have a phobia regarding maggots/moth larvae though!

I used pest expert products from Amazon.
