Moths
The female clothes moth will choose to lay her eggs in dark, quiet areas within the home. Places such as under beds, under furniture, and in clothes/material left or stored open in lofts or wardrobes. An adult moth lives for about 2 - 3 weeks.
Why are they a problem?
Clothes moths can do a great deal of damage to your carpets, clothes, and furniture. They normally eat natural fibres like wool and cashmere etc although they will eat man-made fibres if nothing else is available. If untreated an infestation can quickly cause damage to furnishings and clothing that can be very costly.
How do they breed?
The adult female will lay between 70 - 100 eggs which are small and white and difficult to see. After a few days the eggs hatch, and the young (larvae), will start to feed, often, they will spin a fine tube around themselves. This tube becomes covered in scraps of material/droppings from where they are living and give the young protection. Once the young have eaten all they need, they will go into a pupal stage. (This is a shell like covering where the young will develop into adult moths).
What can I do to prevent clothes moths in my home?
It will be difficult to stop moths entering your home, as it is probable in the first instance they have come in through an open window.
How do I get rid of clothes moths?
You will need to buy a crawling insect spray and treat the infected area. Please follow all directions on the can and make sure that the room you are treating is well ventilated (open windows). You can also purchase from us moth killer strips.
