Anyone Got Moths .

[leahbee]

I have never had moths or even known anyone who has, yet in the past week two different people have asked me how to get rid of them. Are they more prevelant this year
I remember you used to be able to buy mothballs but I have not heard of them for years,does anyone know if they are still available? I remember the smell of them it made your eyes water. Thanks.

i thought mothballs had been banned cos they were carcenogenic, or am i confused?

You need cedar wood balls.

Thank you very much for your input, I think I will advise cedar balls.
Do you know where they are sold?

I've never had a problem in this country with moths. I do have a nagging feeling that I heard someone muttering recently about a moth problem though so maybe they are more prevalent this year.

I get moths sometimes, I dab lavender oil on cotton wool pads and put them in my wardrobes, that gets rid of them pronto and makes your room smell nice,

I discovered I had a moth problem a few years ago. They'd done some damage,yet I hardly ever actually saw them. I've used these since-seems to work...no more moths.

I bought old-fashioned mothballs not long ago, but I don't use them in the same room in which I sleep. There are other preparations you can buy. However, when you buy soap in solid form, put the soaps - unwrapped - in the bottom of the wardrobe until they have dried out a bit. ( This saves them from going slimy in use, anyway.) After a couple of months, replace the soap with fresh soap. Moths avoid fresh soap

Have you ever been on a plane sitting next to an elderly person whose clothes stink of mothballs ? eight hours + of sheer hell. Cedar balls are much more user friendly.

Mothballs are really a thing of the past, they make everything smell of old jumble sales, dreadful things.
