The moth is considered the most harmful butterfly. It can spoil a decent part of your wardrobe in a short time. The most famous insect that threatens fur and wool is, of course, the moth.
Despite the global trend of replacing natural materials with synthetic analogues, fur and woolen products will probably disappear from our lives soon. Such things have both advantages and some disadvantages. And from the latter, we can distinguish the danger of their damage by parasites.
So where does the moth come from, if you, for example, live on the upper floors and even flies do not risk climbing to such a height? In fact, an inconspicuous miniature butterfly does not need much - the presence of food and a quiet, cozy corner. That is why the pest prefers places where seasonal warm things are stored - closets, chests of drawers, drawers.
How to deal with this problem and what you need to do so that moths fly around your closet for a kilometer. If you notice a moth in your closet, you need to thoroughly ventilate it and wash it with water with the addition of ammonia. We send things to the laundry. Add a little ammonia to the water. After such a procedure, moth larvae will have no chance to survive. When this work is done, we proceed to the second point.
There are many different aromas that moths are afraid of: lavender, geranium, mint, wormwood. Cloves are also used. It has a very delicate, but at the same time rather strong aroma. Mil does not like him. Grind the cloves in a coffee grinder to a powder. We take old kapron socks and shoes. Pour a teaspoon of ground cloves into each. Tie a knot so that the clove does not fall out. There are no traces, take old nylon tights and cut them into 10-15 cm pieces. They will make great bags. These bags are placed in the pockets of sheepskin coats. We put it on the shelf with woolen things.
I also protect winter shoes from moths
In addition to the bag with cloves, we additionally put a couple of sheets of newspaper and a couple of bay leaves. This whole set will help protect shoes from insects until next winter. Cloves protect clothes from moths very well. But do not forget to renew the powder once every six months. Over time, the aroma becomes less strong and moths are no longer afraid.
