Never use more than 1 fogger in a room. A single 6oz fogger is usually enough to cover 25ft by 25ft feet of space. You will need to first find the primary source of the infestation. Moth larvae spend their time looking for food sources. Since your ceiling doesn't offer many of those, chances are, the larvae are coming from somewhere else. Obviously, kill and wipe away any larvae that you see crawling on the ceiling using residual moth-killing sprays. Then, do some detective work and figure out where exactly the primary infestation resides.

What do moths eat? You then close the doors and windows, and leave for 2-3 hours. The tailor I spoke to said they left it over the weekend. I usually leave it from morning til evening.

HOW TO USE: Prepare the area to be treated, close all windows, remove all people, plants, and animals, and ensure fish tanks are securely sealed to prevent smoke penetration. Read the product safety information, place the smoke bomb on a heat-resistant surface (approximately 300mm x 300mm or larger), light the smoke bomb, and leave the room. Keep the room sealed for at least 2 hours or one hour per 1.5-metre ceiling height. Open doors and windows and ventilate the room thoroughly.
