Professional Fabric Pest Extermination in North-Central WV
Prompt Elimination of Moths, Beetles, Crickets, and Silverfish
If you have noticed damage to the clothes in your closet or those in storage, or destruction of carpeting, rugs, bedding, needlework, house linens, or other fabrics, you may have a fabric pest infestation. Unlike many household pests, those that attack fabrics are proficient at hiding their presence until significant damage has already occurred. Prevention is the ideal management strategy for these pests; however, if you are experiencing an active infestation of these difficult to eradicate pests, Master’s Pest Management offers prompt, professional elimination of a wide range of fabric pests, including:
Clothes Moths: Larvae Consume Fabrics, Especially Wool
Carpet Beetles: Larvae Destroy Carpeting and Fur, Leather, Wool, and Silk Fabrics
Crickets: Attracted to Laundry Starch, Body Oils, and Food/Beverages Spilled on Clothing
Silverfish: All Life Stages Consume Fabrics (especially cotton, rayon, and linen), Proteins, Carbohydrates, Starches, Books, and Insulation
Signs of Fabric Pest and Book Infestation
Cockroaches, firebrats, and termites are opportunistic consumers of fabrics. Although these pests will consume just about any type of natural fabric blend, the most commonly affected materials are those made from all natural components, such as fur, feathers, down, leather, upholstery, tapestries, wool, hair (such as paintbrushes), silk, and cotton. These materials should be regularly cleaned and carefully stored to exclude predatory pests. Regular inspections are likely to alert you to the presence of any fabric pets before serious financial damage occurs. Fabric pests may also attack books and wooden instruments. Watch for signs of infestation anywhere fabric items are present within your home:
- Presence of Living Insects
- Dead Insects/ Shed Skin
- Fecal Material
- Cocoons, Silk Threads, and Cases
- Eggs and Larvae
- Holes or Damage in Fabrics or Carpet
