So are moths dangerous to humans and pets?
The answer is yes. Their feces and cocoons can taint food causing illness and touching infested food or fabrics can trigger an allergic reaction. Moths usually damage clothes, fabrics or carpets but it’s actually their larvae that do all the damage. A moth infestation can grow very rapidly and they can also spread through cracks, holes or crevices.
They can scamper across all surfaces and spread throughout a home very quickly. To prevent a population explosion, you need to eliminate the larvae. Moths reproduce very quickly, so use moth traps to catch the adults, vacuum regularly and launder all clothes in the infected area.
