Moth Treatment

Protect Your Rugs from Moth Damage

Moth larvae can damage wool and other natural fiber rugs, often in areas that go unnoticed until the damage becomes visible.

Professional Rug Moth Treatment

Adult moths are usually not responsible for the visible damage.

Their larvae can feed on wool and other natural fibers, resulting in missing pile, weakened areas, and holes.

Our team inspects the rug for signs of activity and evaluates its fibers, construction, condition, and existing damage before recommending treatment.

Restoration, If Needed

Inspection
We examine the rug for signs of moth activity and existing damage.

Cleaning & Treatment
The rug receives professional cleaning and appropriate moth treatment based on its condition.

Final Evaluation
The rug is inspected again after treatment.

Restoration, If Needed
If moth activity has caused physical damage, we can discuss available restoration options.

Moth Damage Repair

Treatment addresses moth activity, but it cannot reverse damage that has already occurred.

If your rug has missing pile, holes, weakened edges, or other damage, our restoration specialists can evaluate whether repairs such as reweaving, patching, edge repair, or other restoration work may be appropriate.

Signs Your Rug May Have Moth Activity

Moth problems are not always obvious at first. Common signs can include:

  • Areas of missing or thinning pile
  • Small holes or weakened fibers
  • Loose fibers around the rug
  • Webbing or cocoon-like material
  • Larvae or small insects near the rug
  • Damage in dark or rarely disturbed areas
  • Moths appearing around rugs, closets, or furniture

If you notice signs of activity, having the rug evaluated early can help prevent additional damage.
