Product Information
Full details
The Zero In Carpet Beetle & Moth Killer Powder is designed for homeowners and tenants struggling with moth or carpet beetle infestations in carpets, rugs, and soft furnishings. Its primary benefit lies in its natural pyrethrin formula which targets pests at all life stages without leaving behind lingering chemical odors. The main caveat is that, while effective for surface and crevice application, it must be thoroughly vacuumed away after use, making it less suitable for applications where debris cannot be easily removed.

FAQs
Is this safe to use around pets?
Keep pets out of the room during application and until the powder has been thoroughly vacuumed away.
How long should I leave the powder down?
Leave the powder down until the infestation is under control, typically for at least 24 to 48 hours before vacuuming.
Can I use this on upholstered furniture?
Yes, but ensure you test a hidden area first and vacuum it thoroughly after use.
Does it kill the eggs?
The product is designed to control moths and beetles at all life stages, including larvae and adults, which helps break the breeding cycle.
Will it stain my light-colored carpet?
It is generally non-staining, but you should always conduct a patch test on a small, unseen area before widespread application.
How do I dispose of the container?
Dispose of the empty container according to your local household waste and recycling regulations.
Troubleshooting
The powder is not coming out of the nozzle.
Ensure the dip-tube is not blocked and that you are squeezing the base of the puffer pack firmly to activate the air flow.
Signs of infestation persist after application.
This often occurs in severe infestations; repeat the treatment in 7-10 days to target any eggs that may have hatched after the first application.
Fine white residue remains after vacuuming.
Repeat the vacuuming process using a crevice tool to reach deep into fibers, or use a damp cloth to wipe the surface if the material permits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the product, gently squeeze the puffer pack to release a fine layer of powder onto the affected areas. It is compatible with most standard residential carpets and rugs. Before full application, test a small, inconspicuous area to ensure no discoloration occurs, particularly on antique or sensitive fibers. Always ensure the area is well-ventilated during application. After the recommended treatment time has elapsed, use a high-suction vacuum cleaner to remove all residual powder from the surface. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the nozzle is clean and the cap is tightly secured to maintain product efficacy.
