Using Pro-Active C Against Clothes MothFabric pests feed on Katrin found in natural fibres.
Any high natural fibred content items can be placed in poly bags with air squeezed out and placed in the freezer for 72 hours to kill any moth eggs, larvae, adult that may be embedded in fibres, or dry-cleaning but this can be expensive if there are a lot of items.
Most fabric pests are active outdoors in the summer and fly into buildings to lay their eggs.
Pro-Active C or Rentokil Insectrol can then be applied being careful not to over spray, a fine coverage is all that is needed. Be sure to spray all internal surfaces of wardrobe and drawers. Allow this to dry (normally two hours) and then replace clothing. We do not suggest to spray clothing directly due to skin irritation that may be caused. Treatment needs to be repeated every 30 days , normally 2-3 treatments is adequate to deal with a moth infestation.

Using Mini Smokes Against Clothes MothYou may also want to treat your Moth problem using Mini Smoke Bombs. These are a fantastic, quick known-down Moth Killer, but really need to be used in conjunction with a residual insecticide such as Pro-Active C or Insectrol, as they offer no on-going protection against the Moths, which is vital in the fight.
For best results you should ensure the room is as smoke tight as possible (close all windows and air vents), it is also advisable to fumigate late in the afternoon as you can then leave the room vacant over night. You will need to use one unit per 120 cubic metres.
Place the Smoke bomb on the floor on a heat-proof plate (such as a baking tray), light the fuse and leave the room, sealing the door on your exit.
If you have large wardrobes, it would be possible to use one mini smoke generator inside the wardrobe, again, use a fireproof base and ensure clothes are not near the smoke bomb when igniting. In this instance it would be best to watch the smoke generator until if finishes, then close the wardrobe doors to contain the smoke.
Next day, you can then begin to apply the residual Insecticides such as Pro-Active C or Pro-Control.
Open wardrobe doors and drawers to allow smoke to penetrate clothing.
