Moth damage is very common, and can leave unsightly holes in your wool rugs. They enjoy munching on the fibres of your rug as it makes their nests warm and cozy for raising their young. In order to protect your wool rugs from moth damage, it’s important to find out what attracts these insects in the first place.
Moths are attracted to wool, silk and fur. Your aim in protecting your rugs is to make them less appealing by removing their source of food, warmth, and shelter. To achieve this, you could purchase moth repellents from the store that are made especially for carpets and rugs.
