Understanding first sightings can help in early detection and treatment of clothes moths.

Problems with Clothes Moths

How we can help eradicate clothes moths:

Clothes moths are a common pest that can cause significant damage to fabrics in homes and businesses. They are particularly destructive to natural fibers such as wool, silk, and fur, where their larvae feed and thrive. Understanding the lifecycle of clothes moths and their behavior is crucial in preventing and managing infestations. At Vergo Pest Management, we specialise in identifying and treating pest problems like clothes moths to protect your property from damage.

Clothes moths are small insects, typically 4 to 8mm long, with a wingspan of 10 to 15mm and long antennae. They can be straw-coloured or mottled brown, with fringed edges on their wings. Like carpet beetles, it’s the larvae that cause the most damage.

Textile Clothes Moth

Common clothes moth larvae are creamy-coloured and can grow up to 10mm in length. They build a shelter made of silk and fabric where they rest during the day. Case-bearing clothes moth larvae, on the other hand, create a protective “sleeping bag” out of silk and fibers, which they carry around as they move. These larvae can take up to 9 months to mature, meaning the moths typically have just one lifecycle per year.

If you’re facing an infestation, it’s important to take swift action. Vergo Pest Management is experienced in handling clothes moth infestations. Our experts can assess the situation, identify affected areas, and implement effective solutions to protect your home or business from further damage. Whether it’s a few moths or a larger infestation, our team can help eliminate the problem and prevent future occurrences.
