Moths

Moths damage household items such as clothing, carpets, and upholstery. Clothes moths lay their eggs on natural fibers such as wool, silk, and cashmere. The larvae then feed on these fibers, causing damage and weakening the material. Pantry moths infest stored food products such as grains, nuts, and dried fruits, contaminating them and making them unfit for human consumption.
