Do Moths Like Rugs? Area Rug Cleaner in Prescott, AZ

Rug moths can munch their way through heavy wool rugs and even manufactured fiber rugs at breakneck speed, creating unsightly patches on your flooring. Rug moths prefer natural fibers and can wreak havoc on rugs in any house or storage room.

 

Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care here in Prescott, AZ.

I was just interested in discussing moths. You’ll believe this moth infestation is the worst thing that could happen to your area rugs.

It only takes a single moth to turn you and your area rugs into a significant problem. It’s heartbreaking to discover moth infestation in beautiful wool and silk rugs, yet it happens more frequently than most people realize.

You can learn more about what these moths can do and how an area rug cleaner in Prescott can help you get rid of them here.

 

Poor Rug Storage Aids Moth Issues  

Moths prefer quiet, hidden locations between area rugs that have been improperly stored or rugs that have been left in rooms with little traffic. Wool area rugs provide an abundant source of food for moths and their larvae, and the rug you have rolled up in your garage or tucked under your bed is waiting for a disaster. Expert repair and restoration of areas rugs may be required.

 

Spills and Stains on Rugs Attract Moths

Rugs are essentially the centerpiece of a moth’s world, especially when they are in a quiet location where the moths can go through their life cycle without being disturbed. Because of the extra proteins these products offer, moths will be considerably more drawn to your area rug if it has any animal mishaps or drips of food/drink on it.

 

Where are My Rug Treatment Specialists in Prescott, AZ?

If you have a moth infestation in one or more of your area rugs, please bring them to Arizona Oriental as soon as possible! We will treat your rug to eliminate the infestation before washing and disinfecting it as needed.

We’ll apply a specific WoolSafe treatment to your area rug while it’s being stored, whether you plan to keep it for a long time or not, and whether it’s been affected by a moth infestation.

Our moth treatment alters the taste of wool for moths, preventing them from creating a home in our area rugs and moving elsewhere. We also recommend wrapping your rug in a breathable storage wrap to provide further protection from other pests which may want to take a piece of your rug for themselves.

Till next time, enjoy your beautiful art for your floor and remember a clean rug is a rug that can last you a lifetime!
