Moth damage to wool rugs and especially moth damage to oriental rugs can be a considerable problem.
At Ace Rug Cleaning our service area for rug and carpet cleaning Raleigh NC homes really extends out well beyond Raleigh to Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Garner, Knightdale and even Durham. You might ask, “What’s that got to do with moths in rugs and carpet?” The point is we serve a large area and have done it for a long time (since 1959) and this has given us the opportunity to diagnose and treat a wide range of rug and carpet damage. We’re the experts you want to call if you suspect a moth damage problem in your fine wool rugs, oriental rugs or wool carpets.
The damage to the wool or oriental rug starts after moths have laid their eggs and the larvae hatch. The new moth larva makes a silk tube burrowing through the material on which it feeds. This obviously causes severe moth damage to carpets and wool rugs.
If you suspect you have a moth infestation, vacuum the rug thoroughly and bring it to our facility. Alert our staff of moth sightings so they may offer you treatment options. It’s very likely that other wool rugs or items in your home may be infested. To be safe, cleaning all wool rugs is recommended.
In cases of severe moth infestation in wool rugs, multiple treatments may be necessary. It may also be necessary to call a pest control agent for treatments in other areas in your home. A good time to do that treatment is while your area rugs are in our facility being cleaned. Moth damage to rugs can be held to a minimum if you catch it early enough and take the necessary steps. Call Ace Rug Cleaning today at 919-832-2275 … we’re here to help.
