Area Rug Moth Damage Requires Professional Help
Moth infestation in carpets and area rugs is a rapidly growing problem in homes around Florida, especially in warmer areas like Pinellas County. Humid climates are the ideal environment for the growth of moth eggs and larvae.- Examine all wool area rugs and oriental rugs, especially dark spots under furniture, for areas with missing fabric. Keep an eye out for moth eggs that resemble large grains of sand.
- Area rugs must be cleaned every two years to prevent infestations that often lead to ruined oriental and area rugs.
