Moths are tricky. Learn how to protect and care for your clothing and precious home textiles by identifying and dealing with moths.
That may seem like an obvious statement, but it is important to know that there are a wide variety of moths, and only a subset of those cause damage. And please remember that it is the moth larvae that cause the actual damage.
Moth larvae are the actual pest that causes the damage to clothing and precious home textiles, not the adult Clothes Moths, Carpet Moths or Pantry Moths you can see flying around in season. Getting rid of moth larvae involves far more intensive investigation, cleaning and treatment.
It is important to note that Clothes Moths and Carpet Moths are not separate species - the species of moths that attack clothing and carpets are the same - they are commonly called ‘clothes’ or ‘carpet’ moths depending on where they are found and what fabrics they target.
