Moth Damage

Moths in clothes and/or Carpet/Rug

Summarized:
Most rug/carpet and clothing comapnies suggest, dryclean, vacuum regularly, and do not really suggest any "sprays or moth balls".

Flying clothes moths do not eat your rugs, but the females do lay hundreds of eggs each, and the eggs hatch into larvae that consume wool, fur, and silk fibers. 

Moths and their larvae thrive in dark, undisturbed areas where a rug gets little traffic and is not often vacuumed.

To prevent moth damage on rugs/ carpets:

• Vacuum regularly, also 2 times a year the bottom of an area rug
• Cedar scent is useless as a prevention for moth damage.
