Stored Product Moths

Moths can be found in a variety of stored products. Some species are associated with goods of vegetable origin, to which they may be adapted with varying degrees of specificity, whilst others are associated with animal products – particularly textiles.

Significance

Moth larvae can cause considerable damage to stored goods by feeding or by contamination with their own products, eg. webbing and frass. Adult insects are not responsible for damage as they either feed on liquid food and water or do not feed at all.

The larval by-products, webbing and frass, are a particular problem. Webbing can entirely coat commodities and may be responsible for blocking machinery and ducts. The problem is exacerbated when webbing becomes mixed with frass, food and general debris.
