Carpet Cloth Moth

There are many varieties of Moths found in the U.K.
An infestation of clothes moths causes damage to clothes, upholstery, carpets and rugs. The damage is caused by the larvae as they feed on keratin found in animal-based fibres ie, wool, silk, feathers, fur as well as dust containing human skin cells and hair.
They target areas of carpets underneath furniture, in crevices of upholstered furniture and clothes that have not been worn for a long time. Fabrics with food, perspiration, or urine stains are more subject to damage.
If left uncontrolled moths will increase in number. Female moths lay an average of 40 to 50 eggs during a 2-3 week period.
Eggs hatch in 4-10-days during warm weather. The larval period lasts 35-days to 2.5-years.
Treatment would be residual spray treatment.
