behind my sofa, since I wasn't using it)... It had been cleaned and vacuumed since its last use (but not professionally, along with the silk one which was less damaged)...

I'd never had a problem with moths before and by the time I realized it both rugs were destroyed (as well as severlal expensive pieces of wool clothing).
