How can I keep my clothes clothes moth free without having them smell of moth balls?

I’m packing my clothes up to go away for six months and I dont want to come back and find them full of holes! I live in the midlands in england and my clothes will be in bags and suitcases in the attic…

Use Cedar Balls, Cedar Rings, Cedar Hangups or Cedar Hearts which give effective control of moths and smell wonderful – all available from Coopers Direct – www.coopersdirect.com

  4. I bought a package of cedar blocks from Meijer. Cedar is a natural moth repellant, and it smells good. (at least to me.)

  6. Moths hate Lavender and Camphorwood,either together or seperately.Wrap your clothes in brown paper as well.

  7. Seal them in plastic bags or containers, the moths can’t get at them through plastic. But they have to be well closed. Big ziplock bags work well with small items, shoes and tops. Iyou can find the catering size you can put bigger items folded.

    Small suitcases that can go inside a wheelie bin heavy duty bag will also do as long as you tie the bag well.

  8. Lavender was used years ago, I assume it was fresh lavender, which became dried lavender over time. I buy pieces of wood impregnated with lavender and hang them in my wardrobes, occasionally I have drenched small pieces of cotton wood in essential oil of lavender, and taking care not to allow any to touch the clothes, have attached these pieces to the stems of coat hangers. You could probably rig up something similar even though you will not be using coat hangers.

  12. Try a couple of conkers, theres plenty free ones around, give it a go. I have also been told a conker in each corner of a room will keep spiders at bay, they dont like the smell. I am trying this right now as I hate the little buggers.
