    Yes that seems correct. I found this
    Moths
    Cedar chips in a cheesecloth square, or cedar oil in an absorbant cloth will repel moths. The cedar should be 'aromatic cedar', also referred to as juniper in some areas.
    Homemade moth-repelling sachets can also be made with lavender, rosemary, vetiver and rose petals.
    Dried lemon peels are also a natural moth deterrent - simply toss into clothes chest, or tie in cheesecloth and hang in the closet.
    Natural attractant pheromones have been developed for controlling moths, and are now available as clothes moth traps and pantry moth traps.
