Are Moths Dangerous?
There are more than 12,000 species of moths in the US at the moment. Only very few species are harmful. While carpet moth and moths in general do not pose any big health risks for humans or pets, they are capable of seriously damaging the state and design of carpets, clothes, drapes, curtains or upholstered furniture pieces. Fur, cotton and leather could all be savagely ruined by moths. If you’ve noticed even the smallest trace of destruction, get in touch with us right now and prevent greater damage from happening. It only takes a few weeks for moths to cause severe damage to your carpets. The sooner you act on the matter, the better.
How To Identify Moths
If you have noticed any signs of common clothes moths, brown house moths or carpet moths, holes in your rugs or cloths and flying insects that resemble small butterflies, you are looking at a moth infestation. Keep in mind adult moths fly and they are 6 up to 8 mm in length, with no notable markings on their bodies or wings.
Dark-colored moths with three faint spots on them are most likely case-bearing variety and they are more interested in imported animal fabrics. They are responsible for causing holes in your clothing and carpets (think in terms of sheep or goat fur).
The brown house moth usually targets feathers, wool and leather. These moths are between 8 to 14 mm in their adult stage and they have three or four darker spots on.
Knowing how to differentiate between various species of moths will help you – and us – know exactly how to handle their thorough eradication. Remember it is also possible for moths to target pet hair, dead insects and even pollen carried inside the house through and open window in the spring or summer.
Spotting any larvae that resemble maggots (moth caterpillars) means your home has been infested and you need professional help.
