Clothes Moth Tineola bisselliella

The common clothes moth can be very destructive to any material made from animal fibre such as wool and furs etc. Damage can be found on carpets, curtains upholstered furniture and clothes. The larva causes the main damage not the moth. Damage to carpets is normally found around the darker areas for example under tables and furniture. Bare patches found on woollen carpet will be easily observed under curtains. Small grey silk tubes are attached to curtains, furniture etc these are the casings in which the larvae pupates into the adult moth.
