Getting ready for ......

Ive never had a problem with moths I wonder what the difference between the haves and the have nots is ? Strange!

I presume I haven’t any clothes that moths like I ve havent seen a moth in my house for years and years Why’s that I wonder !
I ve seen them at night in the garden or on the outside of the window panes but nothing inside
I remember Nan always had mothballs in her wardrobes but I’ve never bought them or needed them none of my children use them either ! Not thought about them for years

Karmalady I have been using the Lakeland moth stoppers for years in my old house and since my move . I put them under furniture as well out out in the open and in drawers and cupboards. And have found death moths on them at times. I use them all year round.

I can’t wear wool, but I have a few cashmere jumpers and cardigans. Having been caught out a few times by the pesky moths, I now keep them in a sealed bag in the freezer in the summer months. Probably a bit extreme, but it does work.

I like that

I will get some abrinet sander out later and will start the cedar sanding too. I need belt and braces, hate the thought of wool and cashmere being munched. I don`t know if grubs are repulsed or killed by preventers once eggs are laid

Same goes for carpet moths, hence me not having carpet here apart from stairs. Last house, the munching was visible under the beds once removed and that was very tough sisal

Sanding is the traditional method I think, tosca

I do buy the Lakeland moth stoppers and spread them about but they are quite expensive so use the cedar wood ones as well. I rub cedar wood oil into the wood to refresh them every so often as they lose their effectiveness over time and in fact did all mine only two days ago, never heard of sanding them down.
