do you think this will work on moths in carpet? diluted of course

I'd test a small area first, to check that this doesn't stain. Remember that this is a deterrent, not a "poison".

I find that the oil does not stain or leave a residue on clothes or carpet or any other surface. It lays down droplets of oil that release the cedar smell when it evaporates. I find that it evaporates completely. Then you reapply, if you want. I have used it on wool rugs that were getting chewed up pretty badly. I vacuumed and applied and then go back and vacuum and reapply periodically. It's an oriental rug and has dark colors, so maybe if you have a very light rug, you should test. But, really, I find that it completely dissipates. Might use the term "sublimate" or "evanesce." I find that the oil does not stain or leave a residue on clothes or carpet or any other surface.

I would think you would steam clean the carpet first... Is this for inside a home? I ask because the smell would be strong and diluting may not work for you

I actually wouldn't recommend using this on or near carpet, only because it's oil. If you dilute the oil then I don't think the scent is strong enough, and if you don't dilute it then it will be a pain to wash out of carpet. My main use for this oil was to paint the inside of some cedar chests, and to soak/condition cedar blocks and hangers. It definitely helped reduce silverfish and moths, but I don't think on its own it will do much. Oh, this oil also works well in a diffuser with those bamboo reeds. Nice air freshener. Good luck against the moths.

I don't have carpets but looked this up online. People have used it in carpet cleaners. Make sure carpet is colorfast.

Not sure I used for Brown recluse spiders and it was effective for 3-6 months on all bugs, and spiders. Not sure about carpet beetles though sorry

I think it works very well for clothes moths. It attracts them before they can find a home in your clothes. Not sure it would do much good if you already have an infestation.

Interesting idea. Best asked of manufacturer. It would seem to me not to be as effective as spraying since (as I understand it) the benefit is in letting the dropplets neutralyze the airborne particles. On the other hand, I think I read where you can freshen bed linens and carpets. Would be interesting to test your theory on an inexpensive filter first. Please post any results you get and I will do the same.

i suggest going to riteaid and getting stronger cedar scented mothball hangars. they are much more effective, especially for a severe infestation. you may need to use a defogger as an initial treatment. didnt your dry cleaner suggest a method to rid yourself of these pests? he should have. i hope this helps. the cedar green products are more of a maintenance product than a treatment solution in my experience.

I have never killed moths with it, but I imagine it would work well. I used it for flies mostly. The first hit of a fly really stuns it. You can get it another 2 times and the fly is completely vaporized into a puff of smoke. Nothing to clean up!

I would be very careful and test it and dilute it before actually applying it to the carpet . Test it on a a pillow Casd until u get the right shade dilute with watet

Yes. You must follow the dilution instructions exactly. Use in addition to your regular carpet cleaning solution. This disinfectant is very strong. Less is more.

I use this in our bird room. We have pet birds. It does not effect our carpet. I vacuum our carpet and it picks up roaches and at times, if I see one, and use this spray, it immediately kills them. It works excellently!

It works everywhere. But you dont want to spill this product on any type of carpets if that is what you are asking...? If you have ants on your carpet it might be easier to just clean the area or place this product closer to the spot that you see the trail. I dont know if this question probably applies to this product but here ya go :)

Yeah. I'm sure it would, just might need a little more time to sit and fully absorb. It's a pretty moist product. Needs a short time to absorb into the carpet before you scrub it.

I'm sorry, I didn't use this product on carpets though I do believe it will work fine however it may leave a residue that smells and is unpleasant. This works great on floor edges and moulding areas that are hiding places for roaches. The spray handle is great and it totally controlled our buildings roach problem. I hope this helps.

I think that it will work if the substance causing the odor is indeed on the carpet, and not in the padding beneath. We did use ours to check bare floor and not carpet, but the smallest spot should fluoresce. This article may help you with cleaning and deodorizing: http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/removing_pet_stains_odors.html. Good luck!
