Moths eat natural fibers, they love to eat keratin in wool fibre which is a food for the insects. Moths have no interest in synthetic fibres especially when the clothes are singularly made of a Synthetic material, they can attack if the material is blended with natural fibres like wool, silk, and cotton etc.

Clothes moths can digest protein fibers such as wool, silk, and specialty hair fibers, but these insects will also find and eat protein substances on synthetic fibers. This means carpets, rugs, draperies, and upholstery made from nylon, acrylic, polyester, acetate, and other synthetics can harbor these insects if they contain food or beverage stains, blood, urine, perspiration or other sources of nutritional protein.

The larvae they produce are very damaging. It is the larvae that actually feed on wool. Each larva spins a silken tube that acts as a barrier of protection. The webbing moth larvae attach their tubes to dark crevices or seams, rendering themselves stationary to feed in one location. The case making moth larvae do not attach their tubes or “cases” which allows them to remain mobile and cause a wider spectrum of damage.

Nylon itself is of very good specific strength and high resistance to insects, fungi, animals, as well as molds, mildew, rot, and many chemicals.
