Casemaking Clothes Moth Larva

Indoor environments such as closets, pantries, and storage areas containing animal-based textiles

Animal fibers including wool, silk, feathers, fur, and hair

Pests that cause structural damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets; no direct health risk to humans but can destroy expensive natural textiles
