Moths in your house? How to prevent damage in the summer
Share
As soon as temperatures rise, you see them pop up again: moths. They seem harmless, but they can cause significant damage to clothing, textiles, and food. Why are moths such a problem in the summer? And what can you do to combat them effectively?
Why are moths more active in summer?
The warm summer months are ideal for moths to lay eggs. These eggs hatch rapidly and turn into larvae—the stage where they can infest your clothes and pantry. Think of tiny holes in your favorite sweater, or packaging full of crawling larvae. Not exactly fresh...
What kind of moths do you encounter?
There are two types of moths that are commonly found in homes:
-
Clothes moths – these eat wool, cotton and animal fibres
-
Food moths – they nest in flour, grains, rice or nuts
Both species are annoying, but fortunately easy to combat with the right approach.
