Unfortunately, I was informed that if you don't place them near the infestation site, they will not find the moth eggs. Now maybe this was one person's experience, but I was hoping you could briefly describe how you used them and how effective they were.

I purchased the eggs from a Canadian supplier who supplies them to museums and libraries specifically for use against Tinea pellionella and "other species of clothes moth". In this case, and luckily for me, the "other" target moth species appeared to include Tineola bisselliella. The company is Anatis Bioprotection and the info on Trichogramma is found at https://anatisbioprotection.com/en/produit/tricho-mite/. They sell and ship to the US. Cost is reasonable, as I recall, though that was a few years ago. I hope this information helps anyone who is struggling with a moth infestation. Please feel free to ignore it if it doesn't.

To clarify, my understanding (which may be wrong!) is that parasitoids of the Trichogramma genus are available for agriculture and other pests but the correct species of Trichogramma which target Webbing clothes moths may not be available in the US. If you or anyone has clarification on this it would be greatly appreciated!

I'd be interested to know if others have used a similar treatment before or since and if it was effective. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
