A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly. There are three types of moths, i.e. Clothes Moth, the Brown moths and White-Shouldered House Moth. Moths are mainly found in cupboards, wardrobes, drawers and storage areas.

The larvae of moths eat fabrics such as clothes, blankets, wool, fur and feathers. They also feed on fertilizers causing damage as well as contamination. The best way to avoid problems with all types of moth is through prevention.
