    Clothing Moths

    Clothing Moths: What you need to know

    Identifying Characteristics

    • Clothing Moths are a light brown and measure ¼ – ½ inches in length
    • The larvae and eggs are likely to be found in closets, or anywhere clothes are stored
    • 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
