FAQs about Carpet Moth Control Service in Kearneysville WV
What are carpet moths and how can I identify them?
Carpet moths are small insects that feed on natural fibers found in carpets, clothing, and upholstery. Adult carpet moths have a wingspan of about half an inch, with a distinctive golden or brown color and lighter spots. You may notice tiny larvae as well, which are white or cream-colored and can be found in hidden areas of your carpet, often near the edges and seams. If you spot holes in your carpets or find web-like cocoons, it’s a strong indicator of a carpet moth infestation.

How long does the carpet moth control treatment take?
The duration of our carpet moth control treatment can vary depending on the severity of the infestation. Typically, the initial treatment can be completed within a few hours.
