Among butterflies, there are not only beautiful, but also nondescript. Such a gray butterfly is called a moth. Settling in apartments and in warehouses with grain, it brings a lot of harm. Products disappear, woolen and fur things deteriorate, and this can be either an old jacket or an expensive natural fur coat.
There are many different varieties of moths. The most common fur coat, clothes and grain moths. Fur coat - of small stature, with silver wings. Lives mainly on fur. A clothes moth is much larger, it can gnaw large areas in cloth, but it can also ruin a fur thing. These two varieties also like to settle on woolen and half-woolen things, velvet, felt. Cereal moth often settles on a shelf with cereals, flour and dried fruits. It should be noted that a flying insect in itself does not harm our stocks; it lays eggs. Our stocks and things are eaten by caterpillars, leaving behind their waste products. Moth larvae develop well in a humid, warm and rarely ventilated area. This must be remembered in order to prevent the invasion of insects. Affected cereals should be thrown away without regret, and the groceries should be stored in tightly closed jars, as the moth gnaws on cellophane. Wool moth is the generalized name for clothes and fur moths, or rather its larvae. They feed on particles of mold on fabric and fur products; moreover, to get to what they want, they gnaw holes in the neighboring material, hence the myth of the omnivorous moth. From this it is clear that a mole that is not contaminated is unlikely to touch the mole, therefore, before storage in a cabinet, all things should be washed or cleaned and put in a plastic bag. Fur coats for the summer are wrapped in thick paper. To get rid of insects for sure, chemical agents are used. They are divided into contact and fumigation. The first is applied directly to the stored item, but they have a short duration of action. Poisonous vapors that kill insects are also dangerous. Fumigation chemicals have proven themselves in the processing of enclosed spaces, cabinets. They are effective much longer than contact ones.
