Living environment:

Adults lay eggs on fur, feathers, leather goods, cracks in wooden floors, wool or dirty silk. Larvae will spin silk and form cocoons, with openings at both ends for feeding and action.

When the closet is empty, spray the closet with Taosisong. Put the processed clothes back, close the wardrobe tightly, put some moth balls (naphthalene balls) on the upper floor (according to the instructions), and remember not to put clothes stained with sludge, because the smell of sweat is more likely to attract moths. Museum (Canon) collections should be inspected before entering (hiding), and pests should be treated first, and fumigation should be checked regularly; Facilities with environmental control should be kept at low temperature, low humidity and clean. Clover and moths do not bite humans and are not infected with pathogens, so they are easily overlooked. It is difficult to completely remove after treatment. Usually, they can clean the environment. Newspapers are collected and sorted regularly, without accumulation, and sent to the resource recycling office for centralized processing. When changing seasons, clothes must be washed and dried before being put into a clean wardrobe, which can reduce the occurrence of harmful insects.
