Heat treatment preparation checklist for Moths
Fill in your details, tick items off as you go, then print or email it to us to approve.
For the best results, hang as much clothing as possible on clothes rails in the largest room. This lets us circulate heat around every garment and reach moth larvae and eggs hiding in folds and seams.
Important: Sprinklers, heat detectors, smoke detectors and WiFi alarm systems must be drained or disarmed before treatment. Please tick every item in the "Fire, safety & alarm systems" section below.

Room condition photo submission
Once you have ticked off the checklist above, please upload clear photos of every room to be treated (up to 10 photos). This gives our technicians a full visual record of the property before we arrive, helps us confirm your preparation is complete, and speeds up the treatment on the day.
Your photos are stored securely and only used by our technicians to plan and verify your heat treatment. They are not shared with anyone else.
Upload clear photos of each room here and Craig will personally review them before we arrive. If you prefer email, you can also send them directly to extreme-heat@outlook.com.
Add at least one photo to send.
Disclaimer & agreement
I confirm that I have read and completed the moth heat treatment preparation instructions above to the best of my ability. I understand that Extreme Heat Force UK will carry out a chemical-free heat treatment at the address provided, and that internal temperatures will reach levels capable of damaging heat-sensitive items (including but not limited to wax candles, aerosols, vinyl, certain plastics, oil paintings, live plants, pets and some medications). I understand that IKEA furniture, flat-pack furniture and other laminated or veneered items are heat-sensitive, and the laminate edging or trim may soften, lift or unstick during treatment. I confirm that all such items have been removed from the treatment area and accept full responsibility for any items left in the property. I agree to provide safe access for the duration of the treatment (typically 4–6 hours) and confirm the information I have given is accurate. I also understand that the 6-month guarantee is void if the infestation is proven to be re-entering from a neighbouring property, and that no refund will be given in those circumstances.
By proceeding with the treatment booking, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to the preparation checklist and disclaimer.
If the checklist or disclaimer is not returned signed, your agreement to go ahead with the treatment will still be taken as confirmation that all preparation requirements, terms and disclaimers have been accepted.

Important Information
Our industrial heat treatment is one of the most effective ways of eliminating moths. However, as with any process involving high temperatures, there are thousands of different household items, materials, finishes and possessions that may react differently to heat. It is simply not possible to identify or list every item that could potentially be affected.
While we take every reasonable care throughout the treatment and provide a preparation guide to help minimise any risks, we cannot accept responsibility for damage to any heat-sensitive items, materials or belongings. The purpose of the treatment is to safely eradicate the infestation, and by proceeding with the treatment you acknowledge and accept this.
If you are unsure whether an item may be sensitive to heat, we recommend removing it from the treatment area before our arrival.
Things to Be Aware Of During a Professional Heat Treatment
Professional heat treatments are a highly effective way of eliminating moths. In the vast majority of cases, properties are treated without any problems. However, as with any process that involves raising temperatures, some materials may react slightly, particularly if they are older, already damaged or poorly installed.
On rare occasions, the following may occur:
- Existing hairline cracks in plaster or ceilings may become slightly more noticeable.
- Older or loose plaster may develop small cracks.
- Previously damaged or loose paint may flake.
- Decorators' caulk around skirting boards or door frames may separate slightly.
- Loose wallpaper edges or seams may lift.
- Some silicone sealants may soften or separate.
- Natural wood and wood-based products may expand or contract slightly before returning to normal.
- Poorly fitted laminate or engineered flooring may experience minor movement.
- Veneered or MDF furniture with ageing adhesives may occasionally show lifting around the edges.
- Some plastic or faux wood blinds may be affected by prolonged exposure to heat.
To help protect your belongings, please remove all heat-sensitive items listed on the preparation checklist before we arrive. If you are unsure about any particular item, please contact us before your appointment and we will be happy to advise.
