Thanks for your response. I have not seen signs of larval activity yet, but will post photos when/if I do.

Have you seen signs of larval activity, such as their silken cases in wool, felt, hair, or fur? Jeffrey K.

They are just under ½" in length. I think they may be case-making clothes moths, but am not certain.
