Excellent service from start to finish. I had a serious mouse infestation across multiple rooms and had already caught 9 mice myself before booking. Graeme did a thorough inspection and found several access points I'd missed, he explained everything clearly, talked me through the treatment timeline, and laid professional-grade bait throughout the house. Really put my mind at ease after a stressful week. Highly recommend.

Noticed signs of a mouse one night and was able to book these guys to come and sort it the very next day. Graeme was very thorough checking all potential infestation areas and baiting them. Super friendly and great at explaining what we could do to prevent issues in the future. These guys are great, would highly recommend.

Graeme was timely, friendly and highly competent. He worked quickly and efficiently, left everything clean and tidy and was easy to talk to (about the rodent issue i am having). I've used these folks before, for borer treatment, and for the second time find them to be a fantastic company. I also find the cost to be quite reasonable. Highly recommended.

Very accessible, I was able to book in a time and day that suited me. It was done well and a great report to outline what was going on, how it was treated and what I can for maintenance. Highly recommend

Graeme provided brilliant service, explained the treatment process in detail, giving me peace of mind knowing there’ll be no more mice making my house their home and if they try it’ll be a fleeting visit! I highly recommend using Combat Pest Control. Thank you Graeme!

Why get rid of Carpet Beetles and Moths?

Left uninterrupted carpet beetle larvae and carpet moths will chew away the base of carpet piles causing irreparable damage to your carpet. This will manifest as bald patches in the carpet, in areas with little or no foot traffic, behind and under furniture, in closets, and skirting boards. They can and will also eat other natural fibres putting clothing and other items at risk if left untreated.

FAQ – How do you treat carpet beetles and moths?

Carpet beetle and moth control requires the application of residual insecticides to all carpets with a focus on undisturbed areas behind and under furniture to interrupt movements, killing larvae and adult beetles. This will last the long periods required to kill larvae as they hatch from eggs that may be hidden low in the piles of carpet.

Carpet moth treatment involves the application of targeted measures to eliminate carpet beetle infestations and control clothes moth larvae. This specialised treatment aims to eradicate these pests from carpets and other textiles, preventing further damage.

Carpet Beetle and Moth Control FAQs

A full treatment information sheet is supplied with every appointment confirmation. Though we dream of treating empty houses without furniture, people, or pets; that is not the reality of residential pest control. So, below is a guide, not a rule book. We will always work with you to make practical arrangements, for a successful and stress-free pest service fully backed by our solid guarantees, with no charge for returns.

Answer: Remove loose items, clothes, and toys from all floors, store open food away in closed pantries, and cover any indoor fish tanks to ensure safe, comprehensive floor coverage.

  • Floor Clearing: Pick up all loose toys, clothes, shoes, and loose items from your carpeted surfaces. Clearing these areas allows our team to achieve full, uninterrupted floor coverage right to the room edges.
  • Furniture Management: Clear small items away from the floors under beds and couches. We will carefully move and replace large furniture as required during the service to target hidden breeding zones.
  • Kitchen & Pets: Put all fruit bowls away and place open food packets or pet dishes inside closed pantry cupboards. Securely cover any indoor fish tanks or small pet enclosures to protect them from stray mist drift.

Answer: All family members, children, and household pets must completely vacate the home for 5 hours starting from your scheduled appointment time to allow products time to dry.

  • 5-Hour Vacate Window: Because this service requires a comprehensive liquid application across all room carpets, everyone must leave the property for 5 hours to allow the active products to dry completely.
  • Safety-First Standards: We strictly use professional-grade formulas like Temprid and Biflex. These target specific breeding hotspots and are safe for households once fully dry.

Answer: Current adult beetles and moths will be eradicated immediately on contact, while our long-term residual insecticide shield continues to destroy hidden larvae as they hatch from eggs.

  • Immediate Knock-Down: The initial liquid application immediately stops active adult infestations in their tracks across all treated rooms on Day 1.
  • Larvae Interruption: Carpet beetle and moth eggs remain safely hidden deep down in the piles of your carpet or behind furniture. Our residual barrier remains active for long periods to eliminate larvae as they hatch, breaking the reproductive lifecycle.
  • Textile Protection: This targeted process stops active fabric-eating pests from causing further irreparable damage to your carpets, rugs, garments, and interior textiles.

Answer: Contact us if you observe fresh, active moth or beetle activity inside your main living areas or wardrobe spaces past the initial treatment window.

  • 6-Month Active Warranty: Your treatment is fully backed by a solid 6-month warranty to keep your home protected and give you complete peace of mind.
  • Actionable Feedback: Along with our physical service, our Wellington team provides specific maintenance advice based on our on-site investigation to help you maintain a long-term pest-free home.
  • Free Service Returns: If target textile pests manage to persist or reappear within your 6-month warranty window, our local technicians will return promptly to re-treat the area at zero extra cost.

Answer: Inspect all second-hand items carefully before bringing them inside, vacuum undisturbed areas regularly, and maintain protective chemical perimeters.

  • Stop Hitchhikers: Textile pests are frequently introduced into households accidentally. Always thoroughly inspect second-hand furniture, used rugs, furnishings, and vintage clothing before introducing them into your clean living spaces.
  • Targeted Vacuuming: Focus regular vacuum routines on undisturbed areas, such as deep carpet edges underneath and around heavy cabinets, electronics, and lounge furniture where larvae love to feed.
  • Proactive Maintenance: Because these flying pests can easily migrate through open windows from neighbouring properties, booking a preventative barrier update every 6 months ensures continuous, year-round home defense.
