In this short video we'll answer the question,
how can you tell if you have moths or bugs damaging
your rugs?
Good-quality rugs can last for hundreds of years,
but moths and other pests can literally
eat holes in your rugs very quickly
and create massive damage, and sometimes this damage
can't be repaired.
So, let's talk about the warning signs.
There are two things to look for that
will let you know if you have a problem with bugs in your rugs.
First, look on the underside of the rug
for signs of moth larva.
They look like sticky lint or spider webs
on the back side of the rug.
Next, look for areas where the wool pile has been eaten away,
leaving bare spots or little divots in the wool,
and these can be small.
If your rug has a cotton foundation,
bugs will eat the wool pile and will leave the cotton
foundation alone, leaving bright white areas
visible in your rug.
If your rug is all wool, the bugs
will eat holes all the way through the rug.
If you spot either of these telltale signs,
you've got a problem and you need
to bring your rugs in for a thorough washing right away.
If you have an active infestation where you literally
have bugs crawling all over your rugs,
these bugs must be killed by a pest-control specialist
before bringing them in for cleaning and treatment,
and you should probably have the pest-control company check
the rest of your home as well.
