Help! Moths have chomped my clothes!!!

bootman

I had the lava early on this year. Bought powders and sprays, thought I had got rid of them all but over the last couple of weeks I have had loads of months in the affected room flying around I guess hatched out!!

I haven't had a moth in the house since I got a cat, she loves them!

Hi, hope someone can help me on this. We've just taken some suits out of our wardrobe only to find small holes in them and what I guess are moth larve. It's mainly on my suits and my boyfriends suits.

We're really angry considering how expensive decent suits are. Does anyone have any advice on how to repel them? It can't be girly as my boyfriend refuses to smell of anything like lavender!!

Thanks

Megan

Shame because lavender is a gender neutral smell, as far as I can tell.

are you covered by your insurance some top of the range policies offer new for old on clothing or maybe even covered by the cc if you bought them on card?

cedar wood is a more non-girlie moth repellent

You can get cedar wood hangers and also balls to hang on the hangers

Make sure you thoroughly vacuum suits, wardrobe and bedroom to get rid of potential moths.

Cedar wood hangers available from Lakeland.

Keep watching out for the cases of the larvae. Check out case-bearing clothes moths via Google.

I had the same problem in a trunk with an old fur coat - completely chomped so I got rid of it and then sprayed lavender in the trunk till I bought the cedar wood hangers and balls. Not a nice thing to happen and I dont know why as I am not in there much.
