Fabric pests are insects that feed on items made of animal fibers or animal bi-products like wood, fur, feathers, silks, and animal hair. When living inside homes and other structures, their feeding habits cause damage to rugs, furniture, clothing, blankets, and more. They damage items made only of organic materials. Some of the most common fabric pests living in our area include carpet beetles and webbing clothes moths.
Fabric pests are dangerous to have in your home because they cause costly damage to fabrics and other items made of organic materials. They are also known to cause significant damage to items stored in museums.
Adults lay eggs on a suitable food source; then, when the larvae hatch, they begin feeding on it. The feeding larvae are what cause damage to our belongings and why these insects are such unwanted pests. On the bright side, fabric pests aren't dangerous to people; they neither spread diseases nor bite or sting.
