This moth is mainly an outdoor problem because its caterpillars can damage trees and shrubs. Outbreak years can lead to lots of caterpillars and noticeable leaf loss. Homes may see more moths around exterior lights during peak season. It’s not typically a pantry or clothing pest, but it can be a major nuisance outside. Targeted outdoor control protects landscaping.
