Heat treatment is the most effective method for eradicating moths from your home or commercial property. Heat can penetrate areas where chemicals cannot reach, such as below carpeting. Heat treatments are also more convenient as they require the use of less chemicals and eradicate moths more efficiently. Normally, one treatment is absolutely sufficient even with well established infestations.
Heat can also destroy moths and other insects during all stages of their life cycles. Our heat treatment service in London kills adult moths and their eggs and larvae. In most cases, only a single moth heat treatment is required. We will also provide suggestions to help prevent any future moth infestations.
