About Carpet Moths
Carpet moths, often confused with clothes moths, are tiny insects that feed on natural fibres found in carpets, rugs, upholstery, and even clothing. It is the larvae—not the adult moths—that do the damage by chewing holes through fabric as they feed. These moths thrive in dark, undisturbed areas and can be hard to detect until damage becomes visible.

How to Identify a Carpet Moth Infestation
Spotting carpet moths early can save you from costly repairs and replacements. Here are some key signs of infestation:

- Visible larvae (small creamy white caterpillars) or webbing on carpets and fabrics
- Adult moths (around 5mm long) flying or crawling near carpets and skirting boards
- Shed larval cases (resembling small rice grains)
- Musty odour coming from infested areas
