Clothes moths

Clothes moths are small insects that can damage fabric-based items, especially those made from natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton. Their larvae are the primary cause of damage, as they feed on keratin found in fibers, leading to holes and thinning in clothing, rugs, and upholstery. These moths are usually attracted to dark, undisturbed areas and can be difficult to detect initially. Preventative measures include regular cleaning, storing infested items properly, and using airtight containers or moth-repellent products. Proper hygiene and vigilance help protect textiles from these parasitic pests.
