How Do We Know About a Moth Infestation?
Infestations of moths will not usually be discovered until amounts of damage are already made. The following warning signs should tell you that you may have a moth infestation:
Clothing or Fabric Damage: Moths like natural fibers such as wool, silk, and cotton. If your furniture, carpet, or clothing has patches of uneven damage or holes, you might be seeing larvae at work.
Moth Eggs or Larvae: The larvae and eggs tend to be on pantry shelves, the dresser, or clothing. They are usually small and white and may be difficult to locate unless you look at the infested areas very closely.
Adult Moths Coming and Going: Adult moths are nocturnal and are attracted to light. Adult moths going and coming into your home is a sure sign of an active infestation.
Cocoons or Webbing: Silken cocoons are manufactured by moths' larval, and their appearance is another sign of infestation. Fine webbing can even be seen where moths are easily visible.
When you notice any of these signs, it is most important to act immediately before moths ruin things.
