Helpful information on Moths
There are 3 main moth species found in the UK that are the cause for the damage to your clothes, fabrics and carpets.
Common Clothes Moth (Tineola Bisselliella)
Common clothes moths can also be known as webbing clothes moths or just clothes moths. They are between 9-16mm long and small pale golden-brown colour. If you look up closely it has reddish hairs on its head too. It is the larvae that will eat clothes of carpets or any other natural materials. The female will lay her eggs close to the feed source and once hatched the larvae feed for at least 2 months. Clothes moth larvae are a creamy white colour with a brown head. After feeding then will then pupate for 1-2 months before emerging as adults.
Carpet Moths (Trichophaga Tapetzella)
Carpet moths can also be known as tapestry moths. Carpet moths are buff coloured, and the adults are between 12-14mm long. The larvae feed the keratin found in natural fibres and can take on the colour of the fabric they have been feeding on. The adult moths live 2-3 months, but females can lay up to 200 eggs in dark, quiet undisturbed areas. Carpet moth larvae can live for 2 years feeding from fabrics and can even feed from the wool blended with man-made fabrics.
Case Bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea Pellionella)
Case bearing clothes moths are a pale silver-brown colour with dark spots. They are between 7-11mm long. The larvae are approximately 10mm long and cream in colour. They will feed on wool, fur, feathers and hair and make themselves a portable cocoon from these fibres. The larval stage lasts up to 3 months before they spin the cocoon to pupate in. The case bearing clothes moths can live in outbuildings and birds’ nests as well as inside.
