Pest control supplies - cypermethrin

[D.M. Procida]

I need to buy some carpet/clothes moth spray and some other items (carpet powder, moth traps etc).

Last time round I bought 5l of cypermethrin-based moth killer from mothkiller.co.uk.

Can you recommend a good supplier/product? Is there something better than cypermethrin?

(I notice that mothkiller.co.uk, pestcontrolsupplies.co.uk, pestcontrolsupermarket.com and pest-expert.com all seem to be the same outfit with multiple different limited companies and brand identities. What, exactly, is the point of that?)

Thanks,

Daniele

By buying concentrate I chose to make whole house treatements with the residual effect making the traps and other measures redundant.

If a competitor sets up, they don't immediately get half of the google hits?

There are many better chemicals. They're now banned.

Of course they are. It's H & S gone mad. If it works, it'll be toxic and unsafe to use; if it doesn't work, it's safe for the public to use.

Often there's only one type of pesticide available for public purchase, with the result that just about everything is resistant to it, or soon will be. With the exception of one neonic, just about all insecticides are pyrethrum-based.

Give the illusiong of a choice when there is none?

The traps are not intended to rid you of the problem but to identify where the problem is located. When I had the problem with moths the traps indicated that it was mainly in one room and possibly some migration to the hallway.

As was the case a decade or so with a set top box. Branded with 4 different brand names from companies that had long since trading but with 4 different price tags presumably based on how well respected the company brand name was when still trading.

Isn't there a nematode treatment that eats the grubs from inside?

[Jeff Layman]

There are nematodes and some bacteria which can be used to kill grubs, etc. But they are very dependent on the weather, particularly the temperature.
