Moth damage repair

Cloth Moth and Rug Moths' larvae feed on wool, feathers, fur, hair, leather, lint, dust, paper, and occasionally cotton, linen, silk, and even on synthetic fibres.

They are especially damaging to fabric or rugs stained with beverages, urine, oil from hair, and sweat. Most damage is done to articles left undisturbed for a long time, such as old military uniforms and blankets, wool upholstery, feathered hats, antique dolls and toys, natural bristle brushes, weavings, wall hangings, piano felts, old furs, and especially wool carpets under heavy furniture and clothing in storage.

Damage from moth larvae and other household insects can be avoided as long as the rug is vacuumed regularly and is exposed to light. If part of your rug is hidden under furniture, then it is essential that it is regularly vacuumed as this is the ideal breeding ground for rug-eating insects.

If moth grubs or carpet beetle are discovered, then immediately contact us to stop any further damage.
