How to deal with carpet moths and protect rugs at home

[Putyourownlifejacketonfirst]

Help, we have carpet moths.
A small area in our daughters old room, she left home 8 years ago but has been working abroad so we keep her room for her.
Happy to rip the carpet out as the room needs a refresh but has anyone had experience of these little beasties and how do we treat the house in case they spread.
we have silk and wool rugs on hard wood and would hate to see them being munched.

Invorex was the only at home method we found worked for a while but they have now come back after not long putting in near enough 10K of wool carpet 😭

I think we are going to have to go down the fumigation route with a professional company.

We had to get professionals in
We had to get rid of the carpet , and had very nice synthetic carpet instead of wool ,
I still keep an eye out for the flying moths as I think they might have been in the sofa , but so far , so good
I do have a carpet moth killer powder in the under sink cupboard just in case it’s needed and remember it’s the caterpillars that eat the carpet not the moths , it might take more than one treatment

We have pure wool carpets on stairs and bedrooms which came with the little critters. Don't like chemicals so I've resorted to tiny hoovers on each landing (£15 off amazon think for keyboards etc, charge off USB) and sticky pheromone papers £10 for 10 which trap the males to stop them breeding. There's definitely less each spring but still not eradicated them after a few years of this regime. They don't seem to go for our clothes weirdly, just the carpet🤷 hard floors and jute rug downstairs so no munching there🐛

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I would hope for the best and expect the worst. We had to rip up and replace our wool carpets. I tried daily vacuuming with moving the furniture 3-4 times a week, sprays etc. It definitely reduced the numbers, but it didn't solve the problem. Upside was that it forced us to sell and throw away a lot, and my house had never been so clean.

I did consider getting in pest control, but was told that it would probably solve the problem only temporarily. When we had new (non- wool) carpets laid on the stairs, our carpet fitter said that most of his work now is thanks to moths. He confirmed that whatever you do, they are likely to be back, and he was one of the people who had used pest controllers with success for a year only to go through it again.

Thanks everyone for your help. Ripping out and putting down synthetic seems the answer.

I’d rip that one and hoover the lovely rugs like hell for a while including the backs as they often happily hide there.
I just got a new rug that turned out to have moths, specialist cleaning would have been upwards of 500, I don’t have that kind of money (rug itself cost much less).
But if you have really nice ones, hoover both sides every two days.
