Signs to look for
Irregular damage to wool, larvae in quiet edges and shed skins near stored textiles can be useful clues. Not every fabric mark is insect damage, so check the surrounding material before discarding it.
How treatment starts
The inspection follows evidence through closets, rugs, furnishings and storage. Identification guides cleaning, handling of vulnerable items and any localized treatment of the affected space.
Timing and follow-up
Sorting and cleaning materials can be a major part of the work. Agree on what to set aside, what can be treated or cleaned and how activity will be checked afterward.
Prevention
Clean items before storage, use suitable closed containers and vacuum quiet edges under furniture. Inspect rarely used textiles periodically so damage does not remain unnoticed for a whole season.
What affects the price
The amount of affected material, room access, preparation and monitoring determine the scope. Specialist cleaning of valuable textiles may need to be arranged separately.
