Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 27, 2014
May is the season for rug-eating moths and Dallas’ premier provider of rug cleaning and restoration services wants to help. Behnam Rugs is reminding customers to keep their rugs well-maintained this month as moths seek to nest in dry rugs.
Moth season tends to take a toll on all types of area rugs. Small golden moths that are about 1/3 inch in length, also known as webbing moths, seek breeding refuge in areas that their larvae can consume- rugs. Female moths can lay hundreds of eggs in rugs, making them highly susceptible to expensive damage due to the consumption of hundreds of larvae.
The hatched larvae consume various materials including feather, fur, silk fibers and primarily, wool. Rugs provide a large source of food for moths because their main intake of protein comes from wool. The larvae stage of a moth can last up to 30 months.
Webbing moths lay their eggs in dark, dry and undisturbed areas throughout the home. Areas of the rugs most moths tend to nest in include hidden portions such as underneath or behind the couch where most people do not vacuum. These areas are comfy, dark and dry due to the little air circulation they receive, making them a suitable habitat for a moth to nest. Once an infestation begins, it can spread to other rugs throughout the home, as well as couches, drapery and clothes.
If a rug is not properly maintained, it will dry out and become a breeding ground for moths. Behnam Rugs wants to help people keep their rugs fresh and well-maintained to avoid the May moth rush. Their services cover everything from rug washing to restoration and repair, while only 100 percent organic products are used and applied by hand.
