Lepidoptera
Insects: Moth
All species have four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. In all species the larva is the most destructive stage. Extensive and costly damage can be caused to carpets and household furnishings by these pests.
Moths can lay as many as 200-300 eggs which in turn can hatch in a very short space of time (7-10 days) causing widespread destruction to many household items over a short period of time. They are often found in dark undisturbed places, under sofas and chairs, in drawers, under furniture, beneath carpets and underlay, between floorboards, skirting boards, birds and wasp nests - the list is almost endless.
As with all pests, locating the source is the best place to start. Commonsense predicts that insecticides need to be in contact with the insect at all stages of the life cycle, therefore all areas which they may frequent, feed, fly or lay eggs in need to be treated.
