COMMON CLOTHES MOTH, Tineola bisselliella


Larvae will be found on fabrics among thin sheets of webbing that they spin to shield themselves. They often leave strands of silk on fabrics they infest.

Fabric pests such as clothes moths, although not particularly dangerous, can sometimes cause irreparable damage to personal belongings. These moths are able to digest animal hairs and, therefore, feed on almost any item made of natural fibers, particularly wool and cashmere.

Clothes moths tend to stay confined near clothing, which makes them easier to control.

Advice for Common Clothes Moth:

Use Protector C, Fortefog Mini Fumers or Treat with Agrodust.
