You and your area rugs won’t have long to worry about once a single moth makes an appearance. But, unfortunately, beautiful wool and silk rugs are often devastated by moth infestation, a sad reality that is more common than most people think.

Hi All; it’s Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care here in Prescott, AZ.

The chance to talk about moths makes the advice worthwhile to all rug owners. You may think a moth infestation is the world’s end for your precious rugs. However, here you can learn more about moths and how our professional rug cleaning service in Prescott can help you eliminate them.

 

Infestations by Moths May Result from Improper Storage

Moths like to nest in hidden crevices between rugs that have been improperly stored or left out in used rooms.

It would help if you did not store your rolled-up wool area rug in the garage or under the bed because it is a disaster waiting to happen. After all, moths and their larvae love eating wool.

 

Moths Love Rugs That Have Been Damaged By Spills And Stains

When moths find a peaceful spot where they won’t be disturbed while they go through their life cycle, rugs become the focal point of their world.

Moths will be much more attracted to your area rug if it has been soiled by animals or have spills of food or drink on it, as these substances contain additional protein.
