Clothing Moths: What you need to know

Identifying Characteristics

The adults weave a web similar to cobwebs that may be found in folds of clothing or corners of where clothes are stored
Commonly mistaken for Grain Moths

Active Season

Clothing Moths tend to be found indoors, so they may be active all year long

Interesting Facts

Only the larvae tend to cause damage, as the adults sole purpose is for reproduction
While the larval stage can take up to 2 years, the adult’s life span is only 1 month

Cause for Concern

Clothing Moth larvae can cause severe damage to stored clothing
Under some circumstances they can also infest stored foods much like their Grain Moth relatives
