Larvae of the moth Tineola bisselliella are serious pests that attack natural fibers such as wool, linen, silk and cotton as well as grains.
One trap and one lure for the webbing clothes moth. 30 day longevity.
Females moths lay eggs in clusters of between 30 and 200 which adhere to surfaces with a gelatin-like glue. These hatch between four and ten days later into near-microscopic white caterpillars which immediately begin to feed. They will also spin mats under which to feed without being readily noticed and from which they will partially emerge at night or under dark conditions to acquire food.
Development to the next stage takes place through between five and 45 instars typically over the course of between one month and two years until the pupal stage is reached. At this point, the caterpillars spin cocoons and spend another approximately 10–50 days developing into adults. There are two generations per year, and adults live about 15-30 days to mate.
