Common household pests – Clothes Moths

lothes mothClothes moth larvae are notorious for feeding on clothing and natural fibres; they have the ability to turn keratin, a protein present in hair and wool, into food. They will feed on a wide range of textiles from carpets to cashmere The adults do not feed and are the reproductive life stage and may be seen in darker areas and not attracted to light as most other moth species.These moths are small – only 5–8 mm long – and scuttle around, only flying when it’s warm. They shun light and hide in dark areas, laying batches of eggs on wool, fur, feathers and skins.
