Addressing infestations of these household pests involves a multi-pronged approach focusing on both removal of existing structures and preventative measures. The larval stage constructs a silken case covered in debris, often plaster or textile fibers, that serves as both camouflage and protection. Effective control necessitates eliminating this protective casing and disrupting their life cycle.
Successfully managing these infestations contributes to the preservation of textiles, artwork, and other vulnerable household items. The potential damage caused by feeding larvae can be extensive, leading to significant financial loss and aesthetic degradation. Understanding their behavior and implementing targeted strategies is crucial for maintaining a pest-free environment.
