Does Moth Shield work on any other insects such as carpet beetle?
Although designed to work on moth, Moth Shield does affect other insects and is known to kill carpet beetle. Application - as for moth affected carpets
How long will the canister last?
We utilise automatic dispensers in the works which spray every 20 minutes, here the canisters last between 3 & 4 months so a single canister should last some considerable time - regular daily use will empty the canister in 9 - 12 months
I have a rug shop and wish to protect my stock from Moth - what should I do?
Install the Moth Shield defence system:-
1 x Automatic Dispenser for every 6000 cubic feet sales area (contains
1 x Canister Moth Shield)

I have a serious Moth infestation - what should I do?
Dealing with it yourself:-

How do I use Moth Shield?

Please use it wisely – in accord with Health & Safety requirements.

For Carpets & Rugs

If you’re using just the canister, for greatest effect:-

  • Spray well under the carpet/rug so that the vapour percolates through the fibres and thereby kills any moth deep inside
  • Lightly over spray the carpet/rug to continue the effect

For maximum efficiency and rapid response against the moth:-

  • Close the room for a few hours so that the Moth Shield vapour gradually works its way around the room rather than dissipate out.
  • Repeat the treatment twice daily (once in the morning, once at night) until the infestation has gone.

For future protection once this infestation has gone:-

  • Spray once a week to deter any future infestation or kill any that may have started.

For clothes

  • Place 3 x sheets of white, unprinted paper kitchen towel on top of each other to form a wad, on the floor of your wardrobe or drawer
  • From 1 foot away apply 2 x bursts of Moth Shield to dampen the wad
  • Close the cupboard and the vapour percolates through the fibres and thereby kills any moth deep inside

For future protection once this infestation has gone:-

Repeat the above weekly or irregularly to deter any future infestation or kill any that may have started.

Does Moth Shield harm young children or pets?
According to our data sheets - NO But if you are going to use in an area where children or pets are regularly active - it would be sensible to use the Moth Shield in the normal way but close the room off for at least 2 hours. NB: Follow Health & Safety guidelines
