These larvae love environments that are:
- Warm
- Humid
- Quiet and undisturbed
That’s why they’re often found in:
- Closets
- Corners of ceilings
- Behind furniture
- Near spider webs
👉 They actually feed on:
- Natural fibers (like fabric)
- Dust and debris
- Sometimes even small spiders or web residue
🔁 Life Cycle & Growth
Even though they’re tiny (around 13 mm long), they can multiply quickly.
- A single cycle may produce hundreds of eggs
- The larvae hatch and immediately create their protective cases
- They stay hidden and continue growing indoors
Over time, they transform into small moths.
✅ How to Keep Them Under Control
Simple steps can help reduce them:
- Clean dusty areas regularly
- Vacuum corners, walls, and ceilings
- Reduce humidity (use ventilation or dehumidifiers)
- Check closets and fabrics
- Remove visible cases manually
👉 The cleaner and drier your space, the less likely they are to stay.
