Moth heat treatment
ThermoPest’s Moth Heat Treatment in London offers a heat-led solution, with minimal chemical use, to get rid of clothes moths and carpet moths (Tineola bisselliella) at every stage of life — eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Our trained technicians use advanced heat technology to treat carpets, wardrobes, and entire properties across London, and ThermoPest is a member of the BPCA and NPTA.
Our specialist heat systems heat rooms to 50–60°C and hold that heat long enough to kill clothes and carpet moths at every life stage, including eggs and larvae hidden deep in wool fibres, carpet pile and furniture crevices where sprays simply can’t reach.
The main heat-treatment appointment is planned to minimise disruption, with aftercare and further treatment where required. You can usually go back in after 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise.
Yes. Clothes and carpet moths, their eggs and larvae die when held at high temperatures for long enough. We heat rooms to 50–60°C and hold that heat until the hardest-to-reach spots stay above 50°C, using temperature monitors in cold spots, deep wool pile, stored garments and the crevices where larvae hide.
Heat vs sprays
Most effective treatment
Heat treatment is widely regarded as the most effective way to get rid of clothes and carpet moths. Unlike traditional chemical sprays which may require multiple visits and still miss hidden eggs, heat treatment raises the temperature of the affected area to a level lethal to moths at every life stage — eggs, larvae and adults.
The method penetrates deep into fabrics, wardrobes, flooring cracks and underneath carpets — places where sprays consistently fail to reach. The main heat visit usually takes several hours. We provide aftercare and explain any additional treatment needed for your property.

Heat treatment is also a low-insecticide process. Rather than relying on heavy pesticide application, heat does the work — targeting every stage of the moth lifecycle through a tailored treatment plan, with targeted products only where they’re needed. That means far less pesticide in your home than traditional spray-based approaches.
