The Dangers Of Moths
Most moths found in the UK are harmless and don’t cause issues for humans. However, out of the over 2500 moth species in the country, there are several that are considered pests. Common clothes moths, also known as carpet moths, and case-bearing clothes moths, eat natural fibres such as wool, cashmere, velvet, silk and others. As such, they can cause expensive damage to your property, including carpets, curtains, rugs, clothes and other items.
Another species that can cause damage in your home or business is the Indian meal moth, also known as the pantry moth. These pests can infest dried food products, including grains, pasta, rice and other items.

What Attracts Moths To Your Property?
Moths can get inside your property easily, especially if you leave doors or windows open in the warmer months. They may also be attracted to lights. Once inside, if they find an accessible food source, such as open packs of food or carpets, soft furnishings or other household fabrics made from natural fibres, they will stay and start breeding. While adult moths are the most noticeable, it is moth larvae that are the most destructive, as they need a lot of protein to be able to build a cocoon and become adults. So, once moths start breeding, the problem will go from a few moth sightings to a full moth infestation.
How Long Do Moths Live?
Adult moths only live for between a few days and a month, depending on their species. Most adult moths live long enough to procreate and then die. Moth eggs usually hatch within 4 to 10 days, and the larvae will then take between a few weeks and several months to enter the cocoon stage. During this time, the larvae will feed on natural fibres or dried food regularly to grow. The pupal or cocoon stage takes anywhere from a few weeks to a year or more, depending on environmental factors and the species in question.
How Can You Prevent Moths From Entering Your Space?
Rats will build a nest from soft materials such as loft insulation, leaves, feathers and fabrics. If they find somewhere safe and warm, they will use the same nest throughout their lives and keep adapting it. A rat’s nest looks like a pile of soft materials and twigs and is often found inside walls, under floorboards or in the attic, depending on the species of rat in question.
