Does steam cleaning work to get rid of moths in carpets? Does it damage the carpet?

Big carpet-moth problem in my wool carpet! Wondering whether to try to steam-clean it and whether that will damage it. Anyone have any experience with this?

We had this , a bad infestation some years back . Fortunately we also have a Polti Vaporetto steam cleaner. about the size of a large vac, (had it for Yonks ) This got rid of the problem , killed the larvae and also all the eggs . Unfortunately by the time we found the problem the carpet had a fair bit of damage.
