How To Spot Moths and Moth Damage In Your Rug
WHY Moths Are Attracted To Wool Rugs With Pet Urine On Them
Moth larva need certain organic dust, spills, and wool to survive.
They do not drink liquids so any food or drink spilled onto the rug along with the natural fibers it is made of (i.e. wool, silk, etc.) will provide the nutrition it needs.
HOWEVER, the combination of pet urine on rug fibers is exceedingly rich in the nutrients a moth larva craves and as a result will do serious damage to your rugs.
Pet urine acts like a high powered beacon to moths and they're attracted to it like sharks are to blood.
And since a female moth can lay anywhere from 50 to 100 eggs at a time, it won’t take long for a major problem to occur if left untreated.
That's why Luv-A-Rug recommends if you have any rugs that are important you, make sure that you have any pet accidents professionally cleaned as soon as possible.
