Moths can present a serious hazard to personal belongings. However, moths are not usually the cause of the damage. This is the job of the larvae left behind by the female moth. Carpet moth larvae (commonly found in wardrobes and carpeted areas) can feed at an alarming rate. Typically these larvae feed from organic materials such as wool and silk.
