Unique Carpet uses permethrins on the surface of their wool carpets to protect against moths. We don't know about other insects. The problem with moths is when the larva hatches the babies eat the wool. This can be avoided by vacuuming regularly, especially in the spring and fall underneath furniture and in closets. Unique maintains that permethrins are safe and are used in organic gardening.
If that does not suit you, we suggest looking at our EarthWeave, Nature's Carpet or Pure Life (Kaleen) products. They use no permethrins, no Scotch Guards, natural latex, natural or organic dyes, and jute backing. These are recommended for those which chemical sensitivities.
All of our carpet manufacturers offer area rugs. Please call 800-405-0222 for more details.
