Seriously, you need to be vigilant! Moths are having a feast at the moment, it is a good year for them. Whilst I'm actually am quite partial to moths, I'm more fond of my clothes. Lakeland and John Lewis offer reasonable and effective protectors, mainly natural and nice smelling.
Ughhh moths are the worst. There's no worse feeling (okay maybe an exaggeration) than finding a beautiful cashmere sweater or silk vintage dress (yes, this happened to me) with horrible moth holes. I haven't looked into cedar blocks, but I need to soon if this is moth season!
I never kill anything apart from moths. I've knocked drinks flying and all sorts just to get at them! Then someone told me the flying ones don't eat your clothes... I had to get rid of an entire carpet because of them a few years ago. I put the cedar blocks on the carpet under furniture but kept finding groups of moths sitting on them!! Cheeky little buggers! I keep my cashmere in 1930's cedar lined drawers now which seems to have worked so far. They've come back because I've noticed a few flying around of late.I think something more hardcore is called for...
Katie Grand has the most amazing archive of clothes and she swears by a company called Beaver House who do moth bombs. I've been meaning to try them xx
I have noticed more moths than usual. Thanks for the advice.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, darling!

What a diplomatic perspective - fond of moths but more fond of your clothes :-)
ReplyDeleteit is winter here and I have noticed a lot of people wearing knits with holes from evil and hungry moths. Moths are the Devils work.

ReplyDeleteDo I need to get some of this to take care of my LV silk and cashmere scarf, I am really worried about it.
