Casemaking Clothes Moth

/in /by

This casemaking clothes moth builds a case of silk that it drags around so it can feed on the go. The adult moths stay close to their source of food and are not lively in bright well lite locations. The fabric moths, such as the casemaking clothes moth can easily be confused with food storage moths so if the moths are flying around lights or in well-lit rooms then it’s a food-infesting moth. The larval stage is the destructive period and feeds on wool, cotton and other natural fibers used on carpets, throw rugs and furniture. While the casemaking clothes moth is less common they are a difficult insect to control in storage facilities.
