Acana Carpet and Fabric Moth Killer with Lavender Freshener Spray - 500 ml

We had a bedroom infested with carpet moths that were munching away at the edges of the carpet. Moth traps kept them in check for a bit, but they kept coming back, and it went on like this for maybe a year. We nearly hired a professional pest control service but that would have cost us at least £200 or so. Instead we decided to give this a try first. I was worried it would be difficult to use, smelly, or ineffective, but the results were excellent. Treating the room took maybe an hour including clearing out some small furniture and the clothes from the closet (the carpet in the closet was infested too, but the clothes were mostly synthetic fibres and didn't need spraying). The actual spraying took about 10 minutes (all of carpet, but most thoroughly on the edges). It does smell a lot when freshly sprayed and feels a bit irritating, so I made sure not to breathe too much and kept the window wide open. After that I closed the door to that room and left the window open for an hour or so before vacuuming. The smell was much better by then, but I left the window open another 4-5 hrs at least. Recommend doing this on a mild day rather than the middle of winter. No one slept in the room that night, although you probably could have used it normally, as there was nearly no smell after the extended ventilation. I repeated the same treatment about a month later to kill another (smaller) batch of moths. This was last August and we have not seen a single moth since, so this is truly an effective, long term solution. But there is still plenty of spray left in the bottle if the beasts ever dare to return...

I have bought this 5 times. It doesn't just work on moths it also kills flies.I was disappointed with the latest bottle though. The spray was more like a stream no matter how the nozzle was turned. This meant that instead of spraying a fine mist over the clothes too much liquid comes out. It's too expensive to be so wasteful.

I dont like the smell of lavender but was prepared to try this to nip in the bud a small moth problem in my flat. This has a very strong scent of lavender which has given me headaches. I sprayed my bedroom in the morning and had the windows open all day but I could not sleep in the room that night because of the scent, following night I managed to sleep in there but still woke with a headache. This will be a small price to pay if it does the trick though, using this, cedar rings and moth traps hopefully will work but only time will tell, although on first inspection it's done for a couple of wood lice from the fire place in my sitting room! So fingers crossed !UPDATE : Had no moths until this week 5th Dec) when my cat spotted 1 poncing across my wooden floor in the hall, quickly disposed of and another spray of rooms been done, I think this is doing the trick as no moths in traps or seemingly kicking about, will spray again in the new year and am hoping the problem is resolved.

From a UK buyer: having delayed dealing with carpet moths for longer than I should have, I decided to try this product as parts of my carpet had clearly been damaged. Treated 2 large rooms, followed instructions and can say the product works. The smell is okay, but still has a slight chemical odour which is understandable. The product is not cheap, but it works. Wish I’d have got it sooner. No further issues with carpet moths. Recommended product. I would suggest treating the minute you see signs of an infestation. I didn’t and it cost me my carpets. Verdict: slightly pricey but it works. Cheaper than new carpets.

I have been using this product for about a year and without recommendations for something better, continue using this. The little moths are still, unfortunately, breeding so a regular regime needs to be followed to stay on top of them but I this product has not eradicated them - they are persistent!I like the scent.

I read all the reviews for this product and its application before purchase. I was a little disturbed to read that it might affect my asthma so wore protective covering during spraying. I vacuumed first then applied the spray, opened all the doors and windows to dispel odour but actually found that it did not affect my asthma although I found the lavender scent repellent. I waited half an hour before vacuuming again and found dead moths and chrysalises (pupal covering), I moved the furniture again the following day and found several more chrysalises and one dead moth. I vacuumed, re-sprayed, left half an hour and vacuumed again. A week has passed and there is no sign, as yet, of any further infestation. I shall continue to check but this product has definitely worked even if for only a short time so far. I'm so relieved to be rid of these pests. Hooray.
