This protein is found in natural animal fibers such as new wool, cashmere, fur, silk, or feathers. The adult moths themselves do not consume any food, but the tiny, newly hatched larvae cause the feared moth holes. You can usually recognize an active infestation by irregular holes in your favorite pieces or fine, white webs in the dark corners of your drawers. If you discover these typical traces, you should act immediately and actively combat the clothes moths before the population spreads uncontrollably throughout your home.

Most of the time, you bring in the eggs or tiny larvae unnoticed via previously infested second-hand clothing, borrowed textiles, or older rugs. Sometimes the adult animals simply fly in through an open window on warm summer evenings, attracted by cozy retreats. They specifically look for dark, undisturbed, and dusty places that offer plenty of food for their offspring. A packed closet that is rarely ventilated or moved therefore represents the ideal breeding ground for clothes moths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat really helps when you want to get rid of the pests?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnyone who wants to successfully combat clothes moths needs a method that addresses the root of the problem. Often, in a pinch, people first look for time-tested home remedies like lavender sachets, cedarwood, or essential oils. While these intense scents are certainly useful for prevention, they are usually not enough in the event of an acute infestation. This is where we at Green Guardia consistently rely on the gentle yet highly effective power of nature. Our trichogramma wasps are tiny beneficial insects that naturally eliminate the moths' hidden eggs, thus interrupting the entire life cycle of the pests. As soon as there are no more moth eggs present, the helpful assistants disappear all by themselves, completely unnoticed. In our online range, we offer you a perfectly coordinated variety of beneficial insects, biological adhesive traps, and purely natural repellent sprays.
