Mild to Severe
When mouse moth larvae feed, they chew through plant tissues, predominantly affecting leaves and stems. This can lead to extensive defoliation, weakened stems, and potential secondary infections in a range of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. The feeding habit disrupts the plant's ability to photosynthesize and siphons away vital nutrients necessary for growth and reproduction.
