How to Identify Moth and Bug Damage in Your Area Rugs

In this short educational video, Bill Corridan explains how to recognize the warning signs of moth and insect damage in area rugs.

Fine wool and natural-fiber rugs can potentially last for generations, but moths and certain insects can cause serious damage surprisingly quickly if problems go unnoticed.

Insect damage often appears in hidden or low-traffic areas first, including underneath furniture, along edges, or on the back side of the rug.

In this 2-minute video, you’ll learn some of the common signs of moth and bug activity and why early detection is important for helping protect valuable rugs.

Moth damage is often discovered late. Regular rug inspection, vacuuming, rotation, and professional cleaning can help reduce the likelihood of unnoticed insect activity.
