Wool moths #765600

Asked August 03, 2021, 8:57 PM EDT

Are wool moths prevalent in the Willamette valley? I have some smallish moths appearing in my house now between a size of a nickel and a quarter. Please see attached photo. I'd prefer not to spray as I have bee hives outside. Thank you. Steve McMillan

Expert Response

Wool moths are very common about everywhere in the US and elsewhere. However, this is not one of the clothing moths. Was the insect in the picture dead or alive? Small brown moths can be very difficult to identify.
