Vergo Pest Management Ltd has over 45 years industry experience, offering both commercial and residential customers fast and effective pest control services banishing public health pests.
Textile pests do not carry disease and do not bite humans, and therefore are not considered a risk to human health. However, they are a nuisance pest as they can cause severe damage to textile products such as wool, fur, leather, silk, and other natural fibres.
The damage is caused by the larval stage of the species as they feed off the keratin within the natural fibres in order to survive and grow into their adult form. If left untreated the damage they can cause to carpets and clothing can be significant; as the numbers increase the damage gets greater.
There are a number of species of moth and beetle that attack textiles. The most common ones are varied carpet beetles and clothes moths.
