Are moths dangerous?

Pest Control

Moths do not directly cause harm to humans - so they are not dangerous in that aspect. Rather, they may cause damage to your clothes and everything else made out of fabric.

Moths are insects with a dull colouration that allows them to adapt easily to nature. Their wingspan ranges from 4mm to 30cm on average. Moths have four stages of development: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult.

The wings of moths are covered with scales that have a dusty look. Moths wrap or fold their wings over their bodies while resting.

Although many moths are nocturnal, many still fly during the day. Many people confuse them with butterflies most of the time. These moths eat nectar from flowers and imitate wasps and bees.

Types of moths

In Australia, there are between 20,000 and 30,000 different species of moths, which are further divided into roughly 80 different families. The six primary types of moths that fly around in Australia are listed below.

Pest Control

Tropical Tobacco Moths

This species like to eat dry foods such as rice and grains and are brown in colour. In Australia, they are regarded as a very aggravating pest.

Pest Control

Sweet Potato Leaf Miner

Its scientific name is Bedellia somnulentella, and it feeds on plants rather than fabric.

Pest Control

European Grain Moths

The larvae usually infest grain and feed on germs. Typical signs of their infestation include clumped grain and pupal cases.

This moth inside storage will result in a noxious odour.

Pest Control

Pantry moth

The pantry moth is dangerous to anyone who works in food packing or who work in restaurants. Pantry moths can swiftly infest all of the food present in the location. Keep these areas as clean as possible to avoid contamination or infestation by moths. To have proper solutions against these pantry moths and unpleasant pests, the surrounding and outside parts of the food stall must be treated immediately.

Case making clothes moths

Tinea pellionella is the scientific name of a casemaking clothes moth. This pest is similar to the webbing clothes moth in size and appearance, but the wings are more brownish and have subtle dark-coloured dots.

It also has lighter-coloured hairs on its head than the webbing clothes moth. The casemaking clothes moth larvae crawl up to the ceilings and hang behind photo frames; they are also common in wardrobes.

Pest Control

Webbing clothes moths

Tineola bisselliella is the scientific name of these bugs. They are the most common fabric moth. They have reddish-golden hairs on the top of its head. Its wings, which have a span of about 1/2 inch, are fringed with a row of golden hairs. Because these insects are weak flyers that are not attracted to light sources, they will frequently be found near infested goods, such as in a dark corner of the closet where they eat clothes. Also, the webbing clothes moth larvae do not have a casing with them; instead, they create a tube to feed on.

The life cycle of moths

Embryonic stage

It is the beginning of the life cycle of these bugs which is similar to other flying insects. The development of the embryo takes place inside the moth eggs at this stage. Embryos do not develop in the same way that fish or bird embryos do. After the male and female moths have mated, the egg is fertilised inside the female moth. After that, the female moth searches for a suitable location for laying eggs. They prefer areas with a lot of plants because they provide nourishment for the newly hatched eggs.

Larvae stage

The initial larval stage is known as an instar. The larva eats its eggshell after hatching from the eggshell. Protein, vitamins, and other minerals included in the eggshell are essential for the normal development and growth of the larva.

Pupal stage

The larva develops into a fully developed adult moth at this stage. A cocoon is a moth that is still in the pupal stage. Adult moths take 5 to 21 days to develop from caterpillars in most cases.

Adult moth

Adulthood is the last stage of the life cycle of a moth. The moth develops wings and is able to fly. The mature moth is referred to as an "imago" in technical terms. They are vulnerable as they emerge from the cocoon. They have a swollen abdomen after emerging from the cocoon.

How to prevent moths from infesting?

To prevent moth infestation, follow these tips:

Mix cedar oil and water to make a solution. This remedy can be used to get rid of moths and other insects. These essential oils have a strong odour that they dislike and can prevent a moth infestation from happening.
A vinegar and water mixture is the best solution that can be used to scrub the areas where the larvae or moths have been seen.

Combine the dried and powdered herbs in a mixing bowl. In a bag, combine bay leaves, lavender, rosemary, cloves, and thyme in powder form. Place this bag in the areas where moths have been sighted. These herbs can also be used as a spray that you can put on your clothes and other items.
Vacuum and dust your floors and mouldings. Make an effort to maintain your home clean and dust-free.
