Brits may have been soaking up the long hours of sunshine in the last week, but one drawback of the lovely weather is the increased prevalence of pesky moths.
Higher temperatures in the summer are known to accelerate the moths reproductive cycles, making wardrobe invasions more likely, according to experts.
Famously, common clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella) feed on wool and natural fibres such as cashmere, tweed, sheepskin and fur.
The textile-loving species destroys natural fabrics with their larvae, which feeds on protein in natural materials.
This results in irreparable and costly damage to carpets, upholstery, blankets and other soft furnishings, as well as holes in clothing.
