How Does Moth Fumigation Work?
Moth fumigation is the traditional treatment for dealing with moths. It involves using specialised chemicals released into the air and sprayed on the areas where moths and their eggs are found.
This method works quickly and effectively, penetrating areas you cannot reach with commercially available sprays. A technician can ensure that the chemicals reach areas where moths are likely to hide, such as behind furniture and near walls.
Fumigation mainly targets adult moths but can also limit the development of larvae and eggs. More than one treatment may be necessary to eliminate the moth problem from your property, depending on the severity of the infestation.
When you have a significant infestation, moth fumigation is often the most efficient solution for quickly destroying the adult, egg-laying population. It continues killing the moths as they emerge from their cocoons. In most cases, a second visit provides longer-lasting protection.
Moth Steam Treatment
Combining steam treatment and ULV chemical fumigation for moth eradication can create a more comprehensive and effective approach to pest control. Here’s how they work together:
Steam Treatment: Steam effectively kills moth eggs and larvae by exposing them to high temperatures. It penetrates fabrics, cracks, and crevices, reaching areas where moths lay eggs or where larvae might be hiding. This method helps eliminate existing populations and prevents further development by targeting the earlier stages of the moth life cycle.
Initial Steam Treatment: The initial step involves using steam. As discussed, steam can effectively kill moths, larvae, and eggs due to its heat and moisture. It can penetrate fabrics and other materials, immediately reducing the moth population without leaving chemical residues. Steam treatment can also prepare the area for fumigation by dislodging and exposing insects hidden within materials.
Comprehensive Coverage: While steam can kill the insects it directly contacts, ULV fumigation can address any remaining pockets of infestation that the steam may have missed. Chemical fumigants can reach more extensive areas and provide a longer-lasting deterrent effect.

How to Prepare for the Treatment
Unfortunately, the chemicals cannot easily penetrate clothing and fabrics. You should remove all clothing and fabric from the infested areas for better results. If possible, wash and dry all linens and clothes.
Vacuum carpets and rugs. Remove clutter, toys, and other items from the floor. Make sure that there is adequate space between the walls and all furniture. Giving our technician space to apply the chemicals increases the effectiveness of the treatment.
What Should I Do After the Treatment?
After the fumigation process, you must wait three hours before the chemicals settle and return to your property. You will also need to wait before vacuuming and cleaning the treated areas. It provides the insecticides time to continue killing moths and their larvae.
