Combating clothes moths

Clothes moths in your clothes or closet? ✅ Effectively combat moths and permanently protect textiles with GREEN GUARDIA parasitic wasps and sticky traps.

1. General information about clothes moths

The clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella) is one of the most well-known pests of household goods and materials. These small, inconspicuous moths are harmless – the real problem is the larvae , which feed on natural materials such as wool, silk, fur, leather, or feathers .

The larvae chew holes in clothing, carpets, or upholstered furniture and can cause significant damage in severe infestations. Unwashed clothing is particularly vulnerable, as sweat and skin residue further attract the insects.

2. Detect clothes moth infestation – typical signs

An infestation with clothes moths is evident through clear traces:

  • Holes in clothing, carpets or upholstery
  • Small, white webs in cupboards, on textiles or carpet edges
  • Larvae (approx. 1 cm long, whitish with a brown head) in cracks or directly on fabrics
  • Small, yellowish-brown butterflies (approx. 6–9 mm) fly in the room or sit on walls

An early infestation is often only noticed when putting on a piece of clothing – therefore prevention is particularly important.
