How to Use Aviro Moth Spray: Best Practices for Safe & Effective Moth Control at Home

Moths may seem harmless at first, but they’re one of the most frustrating pests for UK households — damaging clothing, carpets, and soft furnishings. That’s why so many people trust Aviro Moth Spray to take control of the problem quickly, safely, and effectively.

Recently, a customer reached out with this great question:

“Is the moth spray safe to use in bedrooms — especially on carpets and clothing where children and pets might come into contact?”

We thought it was such a valuable question that we’ve turned it into this blog post to help others looking for a safe and effective way to deal with moths at home.


Why Choose Aviro Moth Spray?

Aviro Moth Spray is:

  • Fast-acting – kills moths at all life stages (eggs, larvae, and adults)
  • Long-lasting – leaves a residual barrier that protects your home after spraying
  • Safe for homes – HSE-approved for UK use, safe once dry for children and pets
  • Water-based – low odour and non-staining when used correctly

The active ingredient, Cypermethrin, is a professional-strength insecticide that’s trusted by pest control experts — and now available for home use.


Is It Safe to Use in Bedrooms?

Yes — once dry and ventilated, Aviro Moth Spray is perfectly safe for use around the home, including in bedrooms and wardrobes.

  • You can safely walk barefoot on sprayed carpets
  • Children and pets can return to the room once it’s dry
  • It’s also safe to use on clothing (just spot test delicate fabrics first)

Step-by-Step: How to Use Aviro Moth Spray Effectively

1. Prepare the Area

  • Remove pets and children from the room
  • Open windows and doors for good airflow
  • Vacuum carpets, drawers, skirting boards, and wardrobes

2. Spray the Right Spots

  • Carpet edges and skirting boards
  • Inside wardrobes, drawers, cupboards
  • Around bedside cabinets and shelving
  • Lightly mist over clothing (avoid soaking — spot test delicate fabrics)

3. How to Use Aviro Moth Killer Spray

  • Hold the bottle ~30cm away
  • Apply a fine mist — enough to lightly dampen surfaces
  • Do not oversaturate
  • Let the moth spray dry naturally before re-entering the room

4. Repeat for Best Results

For active infestations:

  • Spray every 2–3 days for the first 2 weeks
  • Once under control, move to a maintenance routine every 1–2 weeks

Can I Use Aviro Moth Spray On Clothes?

You can treat clothing, but it’s not always necessary. Here’s the best approach:

  • Wash clothes at the highest temperature the fabric allows
  • For non-washable items, lightly mist from a distance
  • Spot test delicate fabrics and let everything dry fully before wearing

Remember: Moths often lay eggs in wardrobes and drawers — so it’s more important to treat the environment than the clothing itself.


Pro Tips for Long-Term Moth Control

✔ Clean before spraying – don’t trap eggs under treatment
✔ Ventilate well and allow full drying time
✔ Stay consistent – especially in the first few weeks
✔ Treat hidden areas (under beds, in drawer corners)
✔ Combine with Moth Hangers or Aviro Moth Powder for added protection
