Clothes moths are small, secretive moths that avoid light and rarely fly far. As with carpet beetles, it’s the larvae that cause damage — feeding on wool, cashmere, silk, fur, and other natural fibers in closets, drawers, and stored garments.
You often discover them only after the damage is done. Control combines treatment with thorough cleaning and proper storage of vulnerable items.
