Like all of our rug repair services in Long Island, our team at Megerian is committed to providing exceptional service to you, moths, which come from the family Lepidoptera, are often harmless to people, but these small creatures like to turn the fibers from carpets and rugs into a space to rest, nest, and live. Moths, including clothes moths as they are sometimes known, will destroy fabric and other materials. They are specifically found in wool, silks, and felt but can also damage leather and felt. Your older rugs are a target for them.
Our rug mothproofing service can tackle any carpet moth risk. If you know there is a moth infestation risk, or you have other problems like carpet beetles, we highly recommend this service. Larvae eat the fibers from these rugs, while female and male clothes moths will make this the ideal place for nesting and laying moth eggs that will damage your invaluable carpets. Let us help you avoid that.
How We Provide Rug Moth Treatment
If you need to store your rugs, our rug moth proofing service is ideal. We take steps to handle any needed repairs. We then use a lime wash and moth-repellent service to cleanse the rug properly.

Our rug mothproofing service eliminates any adult moth (including both female and male clothes moths) as well as moth eggs (called larvae) that can be embedded into the wool fiber. This is the best way to protect valuable rugs from months. There are steps you can take to minimize the risks from moth eggs and larvae as well as from adult insects over time. Once we properly cleanse and protect your rugs and carpeting, we encourage you to store them in airtight containers and avoid high-heat environments.
