MJH Home: Get Rid of Moth Larvae in Carpet

February 8, 2017 by john Leave a Comment



How to get rid of moth larvae eggs in carpet fabric in your home. Moths are such a nuisance and they just seem to love setting up camp in my home despite my efforts to get rid of them, they lay eggs in my carpet! The other day I noticed what looked like little grains of rice on my dining room floor. They were moving! It turned out that they were moth larvae, little baby moth sacks that had eaten away at my carpet. My carpet in this area of the room has been ruined but to minimise the damage- to stop it spreading further around my home – I’ve got a few tricks and tips that I hope will help you if you ever experience a moth larvae infestation!

So first step: Vacuum the area thoroughly. These little moth babies will fight with your hoover to stay put so I recommend vacuuming for a good while to really ensure they’re out of the area.

IMPORTANT: Hold your vaccum pipe up and continue to vaccum to ensure these pests has been thoroughly drawn in. Then: Get that vacuum bag out of your house immediately!!

Step 2: With boiling water, pour over the infested area. These pests will not survive boiling water.
CAUTION: Make sure there are no electrical wires running underneath your floor. If that is the case, use a chemical disinfectant.

Step 3: Wet Dry Vaccum the area. It’s not essential but I really think it’s best to clean the area with soapy water and then draw all that soapy water out of the area.

It’s been a few weeks now and the moth larvae have gone! I really hope it’s true for you too after trying these basic steps. Good luck! And for more top home tips and disaster prevention ideas (!) visit http://www.myjewishhome.com
