More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a method of treating carpet and other textile products comprising animal fibres or a mix of synthetic fibres and animal fibres. The method includes applying a formulation to carpet or other textile products. The formulation comprises compounds effective against the larvae of a range of Coleopteran species and a chemical which is effective against the larvae of a range of Lepidopteran species. The fluorosurfactant compound can offer only partial control of the larvae of a range of Lepidopteran species. The formulation can be added to the carpet, yarn, loose fibre or other textiles during raw-wool scouring, dyeing, tapescouring, chemsetting or continuous carpet treatment.
