How long can the life cycle of Webbing Clothes Moths last?

The life cycle of Webbing Clothes Moths typically ranges from 50 to 90 days under favorable conditions. This time frame includes the complete process from egg to adult, which involves several stages: egg, larva (which is the most damaging stage as they feed on fabrics), pupa, and adult moth. The duration can vary based on environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, as warmer conditions generally speed up development while cooler conditions slow it down.

Choosing the correct range of 50 to 90 days emphasizes the fact that the larval stage is crucial, highlighting the need for proper pest management strategies to prevent infestations before they become established. Understanding this lifecycle is key for applicators to effectively control and prevent moth populations in stored textiles.
