Should I Be Worried About Clothes Moths In My Commercial Property? from Deanal David's blog

Your commercial property is an important part of your business. If something goes wrong inside of the actual building, it can be enough to shut you down and run you out of business at the same time. That is why you need to be careful with every decision that you make along the way. While you are busy balancing all of the different plates such as inventory, invoicing, training employees, and taking care of your customers, it is easy for something as small as pest control to fall between the cracks. If you do not take good care of the pest control around your property though, it ca be enough to shut you down.

Most business owners will choose to hire professionals to come and take care of some of the pest problems that the commercial property owner is dealing with at the time. This can take one thing off their plate and makes life a bit easier. But you may wat to learn how to recognize some of the more common pests around your property so that you can call in for an extra time with the professionals if those pests start to hang around. One of the pests that could potentially become a problem is the clothes moth.

When you come in contact with a clothes moth, you will find that it is a golden yellow winged bug that has either a reddish or yellowish fuzzy head, two black eyes that are pretty big for its head, and elongated wings that have a bit of fuzz coating around them. They can be pretty small, falling somewhere between 12 to 17 mm long. They like to be in the dark, so it can be kind of hard to find them if you don’t keep a pretty good eye out for them.

There is quite a bit of damage that these are able to cause to your commercial property if you are not careful. The larvae will do most of the damage because they will need to find something like your upholstery, rugs, carpets, and other clothes and fabrics to make into a meal.
