Clothes moth larvae

First Post First Anniversary I've been Money Tipped!
In my considerable years on this earth, I have never encountered clothes moths.


However, this has changed, we opened up our caravan and found a few tiny grubs which we think we have identified as clothes moth larvae.


We've been all through the cupboards and got rid of what we found but feel the need to spray the cupboards out with something.


Does anyone have any natural solution for this problem, before we go getting the hard stuff.

    I would think a steam cleaner would kill off anything lurking, with no nasty pesticides or residue to worry about. Essential oils such as Cedar can be used to repel further invaders.
