Clothes moths are well-known fabric pests in the home.
Carpet beetles are just as destructive and are more abundant than clothes moths in many areas.
Carpet beetle larvae do not spin webs and have a tuft of long brown hair at the end of the body. Clothing moth larvae leave behind a silken web as they feed. When the moth is in its whitish worm-like larva stage, it eats wool and furs and does its damage. The moth also likes dimly lit areas so much damage can be done before it is even seen. Use Effective Preventive Measures Practicing good housekeeping habits is an important step to protect your clothing against fabric insect damage.
