Moth Proofing Your Wool Rug

In addition to a full range of rug cleaning services, we offer professional treatment of moth infestation and moth proofing wool rugs as a preventative measure for your rugs.

A few signs that moths are present in your rug:

  • Sand-like particles deep in the pile of your wool rug.
  • Bare spots in the pile of your wool area rug and/or loose and missing pile.
  • Eggs, larvae, cocoons, moths and live bugs, this can include carpet beetles.

What Should I Do?

Our rug cleaning and restoration department can repair any damage and moth proof your wool rug to prevent future infestations.

  • You can either bring your rug to us or call us at 757-333-1010 to arrange for a home pick up (only available in the Hampton Roads area).
  • Once we have your rug in our facility we inspect it for moth eggs, larvae, live moths, etc. We then perform a treatment to terminate the pests.
  • After that is completed your rug goes through a thorough cleaning to extract all dead insects from the rug.

Future Prevention

After cleaning your rug we provide a moth proofing treatment to your area rug that will prevent future infestations for up to a year. We also sell a commercial grade moth spray that can be applied in your home.
