There are types of household moths: the food eating moth and the fabric eating moth.

Food eating moths are encountered flying around food, pet food, or garbage cans. The moths in Fremont find and lay their eggs in unsealed containers of grain, cereal, pasta, bird seed, powdered milk, or other dry food that the larvae then eat. The larvae are colored like the food they live in, so they can be difficult to spot. The Indian meal moth, also called the North American High-Flyer, is the most common food moth. Food moths in Fremon are also known as flour moths and pantry moths, and the larvae are also known as waxworms.

Fabric eating moths include the webbing moth and casemaking moth. They are found around closets. Since they are so tiny, these moths are rarely seen except for the holes they leave in fabrics.
