A clothes moth infestation occurs when small, winged insects, specifically the Tineola bisselliella and Tinea pellionella, invade homes and damage clothing and textiles. These moths are attracted to natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton, where they lay eggs. The larvae, which are the destructive stage, feed on these materials, causing holes and deterioration. To prevent an infestation, it is essential to keep clothing clean and stored properly. Regularly vacuuming and using airtight containers can help protect garments. If an infestation is suspected, professional pest control services may be necessary to eliminate the problem effectively.
