Your Essential Guide to Eliminating Clothes Moths

Adult moths might look harmless, but their larvae are wardrobe wreckers. While adults only reproduce, larvae feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, and cashmere, leaving holes and frayed patches. Early warning signs include small holes in hidden areas, silky webbing, tiny rice-sized larvae with brown heads, musty smells, and moths crawling in dark corners. To stop an infestation, inspect all clothing carefully, wash or iron infested items, freeze delicate fabrics, vacuum carpets, closets, and skirting boards, and use steam on upholstery and rugs. Consistent cleaning and treatment are essential to protect your clothes from these persistent pests.
