Mite of clothing

The Mite S of clothing belong to the Insecte S Kératophage S. These insects, when they are in nature are useful since they are bio décomposeurs. One will find them in the bird's nests where they will do the housework by eating the feathers and the remainders of birds. On the other hand, as soon as they are introduced into the houses, they especially become harmful as soon as they are installed in the cupboards and on the silk or wool clothes. - It is thus false to claim that any clothing is in danger and that all the moths must be aimed. Moreover, much of clothing and carpet are treated with chemicals against the mites during their manufacture.

Moth-killer - says treatment preserving the fabrics made up of animal fibers (wool, silk) of the action of the mites.
