Damage to or soiling of textiles or food is often the first sign of a moth infestation. Below you will find information about further indications that will help you to identify a moth infestation at an early stage to initiate targeted measures to combat moths:

• Adult moths (mostly crawling instead of flying)
• maggot-like larvae (= moth caterpillars)
• Web quivers in which the moth larvae lived
• Pupae (silk caterpillar cocoons) in which the larvae develop into moths

Please note that damage to carpets can also be caused by larvae of fur beetles or cabbage beetles.

• Fine webs (threads similar to cobwebs) on food supplies
• Spun droppings from moths, cob threads
• Lumpy supply
• Moth moults
• Food marks on packaging
• Live or dead specimens

The fact is: the adult moths do not eat. They mate and then lay their eggs directly on the substrate. The larvae that develop from this have to eat a lot to grow and pupate, where major damage occurs.
