Don't ever underestimate carpet and textile pests! The most popular and worse are the varied case-bearing clothes moth (Tinea pellionella) and the common clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella). These can cause massive destruction and in a short space of time.
The worse case I ever saw was a town house in Colchester, Essex. All the carpets were heavily infested with moth larvae. Some of the carpets were literally down to the backing. The only course of action was to dispose of all the carpets and underlay and then fumigate the house. The damage ran into £5000+ and the house was only 2 years old.
Let's not forget fleas. They can breed rapidly and cause pets and humans real discomfort. Have you ever tried to get rid of them? Not easy! The adults feed on blood and the flea larvae feed on organic matter, such as debris in your carpets.
Cimetrol Super EW
Contains: cypermethrin 25% w/w, tetramethrin 10% w/w, piperonyl butoxide 20% w/w and pyriproxifen 1% w/w.
Control: Bed-bugs, fleas, general crawling insects.
Application: Compression sprayer.
Cimetrol Super EW, is formulated as an oil-in-water emulsion (EW), and is specifically designed for the effective control of bed-bugs and fleas, although the product carries a broad-spectrum label. Cimetrol Super EW has multi-action properties effect – containing a Type 1 pyrethroid for fast-flushing and knockdown, a Type II pyrethroid for rapid insect kill (this new formulation contains five times the active material loading compared to other products), a metabolic synergist to bypass insect metabolic resistances and an insect growth regulator (IGR) pyriproxifen.
Cimetrol Super EW is ideal for use in any situation. It has proven to be very effective even in the most serious infestations, where call-backs are costly and bad for the client’s reputation.
When used for the control of fleas, Cimetrol Super EW will kill the adult insects and the IGR will sterilise the eggs and prevent the development of larvae lying deep within the carpet fibre or hiding in cracks, ensuring excellent results.
Oil-in-water formulation – Extensive testing has shown the revised formulation, based on an advanced oil in water technology, gives more effective control over the first three weeks of application which is when it is most needed. The entire loading of actives is available from the point of application to improve the products overall performance.
We recommend that carpets are cleaned before the insecticide is sprayed. If the carpets are in a good clean condition then cleaning is not essential and we can simply vacuum before application. All our work is guaranteed. We can also treat properties without carpets.
Please note that heavy infestations may require more than 1 visit.
Moth Infestations
Moths are thriving because of improved living conditions in the UK. We have the common clothes Moths, case bearing clothes moth, brown house moth and the white shouldered house moth. Moths do not actually eat fabric but the larvae do! If you notice moths or larvae in the home and damage to clothes, fabrics and carpets then you probably have an infestation. Call us before you suffer considerable damage from these textile pests. They breed rapidly.
Area We Cover
Most of East Anglia including all of Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. We also cover Essex and London for larger jobs. We will try to beat any genuine quote!
Signs of Textile Insect Pests
The most common signs are damage to carpets that resemble bald patches. You may also find larvae and eggs. Damage to clothes, soft furnishings and upholstery are normally signs of a heavy infestation.
Images below: Case bearing moth larvae on a rug that has perfect breeding grounds because of soil, debris and pet urine. Look at the damage (right image) if left untreated! We thoroughly cleaned this rug, dried it and then sprayed with a pyrethroid insecticide on both sides.
End of Tenancy with Pets
Most letting agents now require all carpets are professionally cleaned and an insecticide applied when a tenant has had pets in the property. Even if the agent doesn't require the insecticide we recommend it because if they discover insect pests or signs of damage caused by pests then you could be liable! East Anglia Carpet Cleaning provides a certificate with our license number. Click Here for sample.
