Clothes Moths: Protecting Your Wardrobe


Found holes in your favorite sweater? Clothes moths might be to blame.

These tiny pests thrive in dark, undisturbed areas—closets, drawers, and storage bins. It's not the adult moths but their larvae that feast on natural fibers like wool, silk, and feathers.

Prevent clothes moths by cleaning garments before storage, using cedar or lavender as repellents, and regularly vacuuming closet spaces. Avoid storing items in cardboard boxes—they can chew through those too.

For severe infestations, a pest control specialist can help identify breeding spots and treat them safely.
