A single moth may not seem like a big deal to worry about around your property. If you haven’t been in the attic or the basement for a long time, you may see one or two flying around and not be too worried. But these few moths can turn into a major problem that can take over your home or commercial property, and then you will need to take a look at some drastic pest control solutions to help take care of the problem and make sure that they do not stick around.
A moth is usually about a fourth of an inch when they are young, but some can get to be half an inch as they get older. The webbing clothes moths will have some small amounts of red hairs on the head and their wings are golden in color as well. If you see some of their larvae, they will be cream colored or white with a brown head. This can make it a bit easier to notice them than some of the other moths.
These moths are going to feed on by-products of animals like woold carpets, feathers, hair, and furs to name a few. Some will go after clothes. They like to be in darker environments and the adult moths are more likely to run rather than fly when you disturb them. They do not really cause any health problems if you find them, but they will be a nuisance to try and handle.
There are a few different control methods you can consider using to help handle these moths. These include:
# Launder or dry clean any of the materials that were infested with the moths.
# Hang the infested rugs that you find outside and work hard to brush or beat them as much as possible.
# Keep the areas clean in your home and well vacuumed so that the moths are not able to come back.
# if you see clothes moths around the property, then you need to vacuum them up to prevent more problems.
# Hire the professionals to come and take over and get rid of them.
