Do moths spread diseases

Answer 1

Pantry moths are harmless to humans. They do not carry disease, bite or sting. However, they can create a serious nuisance as they quickly colonize any suitable grain products, including birdseed, flour, cereal and oatmeal. Sometimes the larvae will infest dried fruits and herbs, as well. The moths are able to penetrate packaging to lay their eggs and larvae are often found inside unopened plastic bags. They may also leave casings on walls, inside cabinets and on ceilings.

Answer 2

Moths do not spread diseases. They do not bite, or pose any real threat to humans. However, they do eat holes in clothing.
