They don’t eat synthetic fibers — they crave keratin found in natural fibers. While the adults flutter around harmlessly, it's the larvae that cause serious destruction.
🚨 Signs of Moth Infestation in Rugs:
Sandy, gritty debris or cocoons in the fibers
Threadbare spots or sudden holes
Webbing or silky tunnels within the weave
Weak, thinning areas that fall apart when vacuumed
