Clothes Moths - Fabric Pests
Fabric pests in Ireland are small moths, e.g. the webbing cloth moth or case-bearing cloth moth (or less frequently small beetles such as the carpet beetle). Usually it is the adult pests that are seen first, flying around or gathering around the windows. But this is an indication of the presence of the little maggots which in most cases are feeding from the wool carpets or less commonly clothing.
Webbing clothe moths (Tineola bisselliela) adult and larva
These maggots accumulate in the quietest and safest areas, along the skirting boards and under furniture. Over time they will literally shave some areas of the carpets to the thread.
Following a professional treatment, eggs and maggots should be vacuumed. Close attention should be paid to areas where lint accumulates (corners, baseboards, shelves, etc.). The vacuum cleaner bag should be disposed of after cleaning. All infested clothing, cloth, blankets and other fabrics should be cleaned or disposed of.
