    Chemspec used to make a moth treatment product. I think the only professional moth treatment is from Master Blend. I beleive the chemical is Zinc silicofluoride.

    Rugs that are kept clean and get some sunlight are the best protected. The presence of soil along with being stored in a dark place significnatly increases the possibilityof moth larvae.

    BTW - Do not use moth balls of napthalene or paradichlorobenzene.

    I beleive Master Blend has one. The product Chemspec had was no longer available last time I checked. I was told at Masterblend they had one on the way.
