Extermination of Insects
You can easily get rid of insects either at your home or office by implementing a single or multi-faceted approach. You can adopt varied approaches to exterminate insects and all need to be deployed under different circumstances. Some extermination processes require trained and experienced personnel to execute (See Reference 3).

Antimetabolites
-
Antimetabolites contain hormones, amino acids and vitamins. Even though antimetabolites are not metabolized in the same way, they starve insects by disrupting their metabolic cycle. You can also use antimetabolites like sulphonamides to prevent the development of microorganisms that supply essential nutrients for insect's growth.
Contact Sprays
-
Utilize the services of professional exterminators and certified pest control operators who apply mothproofing chemicals and contact sprays on rugs, carpets and upholstered furniture. Contact sprays are made from either oil or water solutions. Rooms with poor ventilation are sprayed with water-based solutions while oil-based solutions are used in rooms with good ventilation. But before you spray, consider the best solution for your textiles. If your materials are likely to be stained or discolored from water-based solution, then use oil-based solution.

Repellents
-
Use insect repellents to discourage insect infestation at home. Repellents containing naphthalene and p-dichlorobenzene exterminate carpet beetles and moths. If you use these two chemicals in high concentrations, the released vapor kills moth's young larvae and eggs.
Fumigants
-
Fumigants are toxic gases and liquids; only professionals should handle these chemicals. Chemicals for fumigation have volatile infinitesimal molecules that contain one or more halogens such as chlorine or fluorine. One advantage of fumigants is that they kill insects in all stages of their growth, though they do not protect your home from reinfestation. The disadvantage of fumigates is that they are expensive to use because they require certain equipment like fumigation chambers in addition to trained personnel. All fumigants need careful handling, because their toxicity can result in fire or explosion.
