The clothes and the carpet’s protection remain the top priority in the UK climate since both species of clothes moths widely damage the exquisite garments and carpets indoors. One species that belongs to the webbing clothes moth is termed Tineola bisselliella, and the other that belongs to the casemaking clothes moth is called Tinea pellionella. Any species that fall in the house moth category is always a week flyer that loves dark places to hide and lay eggs. Despite avoiding light, clothes moths are still attracted to artificial green light and this has been significantly proven. Usually, the infestations are noticed when winter clothes are being packed and taken for storage to the wardrobes for the next winter. It’s the time when you find damaged wool pieces and chopped cotton fragments along with holes in the clothes. It would never have happened if would have placed a cloths moths trap or installed clothes moth killers for the wardrobe. Similar damages occur when carpets are poorly cleaned or an interval between the two cleanings prolongs. The homeowners may find a moth repellent or a carpet moth killer provided they apply them well before the time of eggs hatching to avoid over-infestations. The synthetic and cottony clothes have little quantities of keratin, the clothes moths feed on, but, if a blend of wool with cotton or any synthetic cloth exists in your wardrobe, the damage could exceed beyond your expectations. A pheromone trap could be an excellent choice for installing indoors for it checks the infestation of a house moth and acts like a moth’s killer as well. A moth pheromone trap and a Clothing Moth Glue Trap could potentially help you to capture clothing moths well before they infest your clothes, carpets, curtains, and rugs that contain wool or wool-like materials.
After applying a carpet pheromone solution, you may find carpet moths adults trapped there that could measure between 0.5 to 0.6 cm in length with a reddish-brown head. Their wingspan may extent up to 1.25 cm with a row of golden fur. Always try to find clothing and carpet moths at the places which don’t receive sufficient light. They would even fly away from the direct light after you suddenly open a wardrobe or a place that provides them nesting. Both clothes moth’s species are almost alike in both size and look. However, the case-making moths possess more brownish wings than those of the webbing moths. Larvae of both the case making and the webbing moths are also similar in appearance except the former are enclosed in a silky cocoon.
