Fabric pests in your home can be a serious problem, particularly if you have natural fabrics like wool, cotton, fur, or angora. The usual suspects are textile moths and carpet beetles, which are the most common pests that can cause damage to these expensive fabrics and carpets.
The larvae can cause significant damage to non-synthetic fabrics, especially
natural fibre carpets. Some infestations are started by adult carpet beetles
who are capable flyers who move from house to house, allowing them to breed
rapidly. They are most likely to be found in areas where fabrics are stored or rarely used.
Size: Adult beetles range from 1.7 – 3.5mm long with their larvae growing up to 4-5mm in length.
Colour: Distinct irregular pattern of white, brownish, and yellowish patches.
Breeding: Life cycle from 1-3 years depending on the food source and environmental conditions.
A number of different species of moth will attack and damage textiles
and animal products, however in the UK the common (or webbing)
clothes moth (Tineola Bisselliella) is one of the most aggressive species
and can be found across the whole country.
Size: These moths are relatively small, ranging from 5-8mm long with their larvae growing up to 10mm in length.
Colour: Straw coloured wings with no distinct markings.
Breeding: Egg to adult is usually about 42 days. May reach 10 to 18 months if the food is poor or temperatures are cold depending on the food source and environmental conditions, A fabric pest problem can be very damaging for any business.
