Small moths flying around the home can sometimes be the first indication of a much larger problem hidden inside carpets, wardrobes or stored clothing.
Textile moth larvae can damage natural fibres, leaving holes in clothing, carpets, rugs and other valuable materials.
Atlas Pest Connect provides professional textile moth control designed to identify and treat active infestations.
Signs of Textile Moths
Look for:
- Small moths around wardrobes
- Moths crawling rather than flying extensively
- Holes in clothing
- Damage to carpets
- Larvae in dark areas
- Silken webbing
- Damage underneath furniture
- Activity around stored fabrics
What Do Clothes Moths Damage?
The larvae are responsible for most of the damage.
They can feed on materials containing natural fibres, including:
- Wool
- Cashmere
- Fur
- Natural carpets
- Rugs
- Upholstery
- Stored clothing
- Other animal-based fibres
Damage can be particularly frustrating when expensive clothing, carpets or furnishings are involved.
Why Do Moths Keep Coming Back?
Treating the adult moths alone won't necessarily solve the infestation.
Eggs and larvae can remain hidden in carpets, furniture and stored fabrics. The source needs to be identified and included in the treatment strategy.
