The shirts below are 2 of about 10 shirts of mine that have holes in them. I don't know where they're coming from. I heard moth larvae eat away at clothing but I don't have moths in the house.

It is only my shirts and in a particular area. Not my pants, my shorts, my jackets, nothing but my shirts. The holes are always in the front on the bottom. My boyfriend's clothes and my daughter's clothes are not affected.

If it matters, some shirts are 100% cotton and some are not. Any ideas?

Eek! I don't think we have silverfish either because I've never seen them around here. I won't rule it out though.

I did talk to my mom about it and she mentioned she gets holes too but it's from cleaning and cooking! Ahhh! Who would've thunk it. It makes sense considering it's only my shirts and they're in the same place all the time.

I think I'll try the moth balls thing anyway just in case. Thanks everyone
