It is not the actual moth that causes the damage \u2013 it is the larvae that feed on fabric that has bodily fluid on it, like sweat, saliva, oil, and even food. Their favored delicacies include wool and natural fibres such as cashmere, tweed, sheepskin, silk, fur, hair, and feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Females can lay up to 100 pinhead-sized eggs over a three-week period before they die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common clothes moths are more predominant in warmer parts\nof southern England, according to a survey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Members of the public were asked by English Heritage to monitor moths in their homes to help the charity look after its collection of historic wool carpets, tapestries, and period clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n English Heritage launched Operation Clothes Moth a year\nago after its experts witnessed the numbers of common or webbing clothes moths\ndouble, and observed the appearance of the pale-backed clothes moth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thousands of traps were handed out at English Heritage\nsites for the survey which collected data from 42 counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It discovered an “alarmingly high” number of pale-backed clothes moths and also revealed that the reported catch of the common clothes moth was significantly higher in London and the South East, where an average of 23 moths were found per trap – more than anywhere else in England.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Eimear Dodd \u250226 February 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\ncompany says there has been an increase in callouts<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pest control provider, Rentokil has\nwarned textile moths are on the rise in Irish homes and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company says there has been an increase in callouts for moth infestations of 54% since 2015<\/strong>.

Cork (18%), Wicklow\n(6%) and Kildare (5%) were the next three counties which accounted for the most\ncallouts for moths from Rentokil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\nneed a solution that is effective, eco- friendly and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nunique product Termirepel™<\/strong><\/a> manufactured by C Tech Corporation<\/strong><\/a> is an anti-insect\naversive which repels insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Termirepel™<\/strong><\/a> works\non the mechanism of repellency.
