Moths!! Post Reply

[bonnybaby]

Can anyone give me some advice as I am being driven crazy by carpet moths! I have had a quote from Rentokil to treat the carpets but wondered if anyone has used any other companies and would you recommend them? Did the treatment work and was there any guarantee?

Following this post! In same problem - driving me nuts.

I don't think you will get a guarantee with any of the pest control companies
Most will return and respray within a limited time if moths reappear - iirc 1 month??

I have used both Cleankill & Beaver Pest Control - happy to recommend either

I am in the same boat. Rentokil quoted me nearly £1000 for 4x sprays 1 month apart with a 6 month warranty. Beaver Pest Control £200 for 2 sprays 2 weeks apart with a 1 month warranty. We just had a second spray with Beaver pest but i am still seeing a few months. I will ask them to come again during the warranty period but if we end up using them 4 times to get the same result as Rentokil, then it will work out the same / you get what you pay for! We live in a 4 bedroom house with a loft storage. I am hoping it won't come to that...

You can do it yourself - it's a bit of a bore but it is much cheaper.

I used www.mothkiller.co.uk. for all the sprays and foggers. The sad fact is that you will have to treat the house more than once. I did ours last year and the little blighters have made an appearance once again.

Better to treat either by using a company or doing it yourself rather than finding maggots in carpets in parts of rooms that the hoover doesn't reach...ugh!
