Moths pose a serious risk to a range of textile items, especially valuable area rugs. Often, the damage they cause can remain undetected until it's too late, resulting in considerable harm to your rugs. Fortunately, you can prevent such infestations. The warm and humid conditions create an ideal environment for moths to thrive, making it crucial for residents to implement effective moth retardancy measures.

Why Moth Retardancy is Important

High-quality, antique, and handwoven rugs are significant investments and pieces of heritage. Moth damage can severely reduce their value and aesthetic appeal.

Moth repellent extends the lifespan of rugs by preventing fiber destruction, ensuring they stay in good condition for years and maximizing your investment.
Economic Considerations: Repairing or replacing moth-damaged rugs is costly.

Preventative measures are more affordable and less disruptive than dealing with an infestation. Moth larvae and their droppings can trigger allergies and asthma. Keeping rugs moth-free improves indoor air quality and overall health.

Signs of Moths in Your Rug

Early detection of a moth infestation can save your rugs from extensive damage. Regular inspections for these signs can prevent significant repair costs and preserve your valuable items:

Presence of Moth Larvae: Small, white caterpillars on the rug's surface or within fibers, feeding on natural materials.
Cocoons: Small, silken tubes or cases found in the rug pile, often in folds or fringes.
Shed Larval Skins: Translucent casings left behind as larvae grow.
Holes and Threadbare Spots: Irregular holes and worn areas, especially in less trafficked zones or under furniture.
Adult Moths: Small, beige or gray moths seen near the rug, indicating potential eggs and larvae present.

Moth Repellent Treatment

Our Moth Repellent Treatment is a three-step process.

First, we inspect your area rugs for cleaning, repair and treatment.
Second, we deep clean your rug using our 10-Step Area Rug Cleaning Process to repel moths from your fine wool and silk Oriental rugs.
Third, we apply a moth repellent to keep moths from damaging your area rugs.

We use an all-natural Moth Repellent product that is safe for your rug fibers and protects against moths and other insects like fleas and ticks. Ask us about our pet stain removal treatment and pet odor removal treatment, too.
