Top Three New Jersey Fabric and Furniture Pests

While some insect pests are a danger to your food supplies, others can damage furniture and fabric throughout your home. Our NJ pest control services can help you deal with any of the following pests that can ruin sofas, wooden tables, clothing and more.

Powderpost Beetles

Powderpost beetles are usually a reddish-brown or black color, depending on their species. They also have a long, thin body shape. Powderpost beetles produce piles of fine powder when they bore into unfinished wood, particularly hardwoods, which they use as a food source.

Carpet Beetles

Carpet beetles are typically either solid black or have a colorful pattern, depending on their species. These fabric pests are known for causing damage to carpets and rugs, as well as clothing. In some cases, they also invade food supplies, so it’s important to deal with infestations quickly.

Clothes Moths

Clothes moths are smaller moths that are usually a yellowish color with some reddish-gold. They typically come out at night and feed on wool, silk and other clothing materials. These moths can end up causing significant damage to clothes, making them one of the more destructive pests to have around.
