  • Anyone had a household moth problem before? How did you deal with it?

    We have a natural fibre carpet in the bedroom and it turns out that the previous owners must have had moths and that there was larva in the carpet. So they've been flourishing the last few weeks as it got warmer, and we've been battling it with frequent cleaning and cedar balls, laundering bed sheets frequently, sealing up clothes in vacuum storage bags, etc.

    But as we don't like the carpets so much I'm thinking of removing the carpets altogether to destroy all of the larva that remains.

    Sound like enough?

  • I'm no expert, but we had a lot of these in our student flat (ahem, because we never cleaned it...).

    Eventually they got too annoying and we started applying pressure on the population by doing a big clean then hoovering everything regularly etc. We saw a difference - I'd have thought your measures will yield a difference if kept up.
