Re: Moths.
Carol I have a horrid story about my friend Sue and moths . She had a futon , I slept on it many times , last year she noticed a lot of small moths flying around , she hoovered and sprayed , they kept coming , eventually decided to check futon and opened the zip .......it was full of them they were living in it . I'd been sleeping on it weeks earlier . Obviously she got rid and had to treat her carpets too . She stopped using moth balls because of the smell so I'm gonna get some of those strips you mentioned as I'm now terrified I'm going to get invadedRe: Moths.
When ever I am in Malaysia I buy a bag of moth balls because here they have to be sold in a small container (they can kill babies). Silverfish are probably the bigger worry here. Silverfish can damage clothing, carpet, artwork and curtain materials containing natural fibres such as wool, cotton, paper, silk and also rayon fabrics.Re: Moths.
I have wool carpets and a few years ago, in a carpeted cupboard, l noticed what looked like rice! They were the larvae of the wool moths and had eaten a patch out of the carpet.Re: Moths.
We had them in our last house and they ate parts of our stair carpet. it was a good quality wool carpet which had been down for about fifteen years but once they started on it, it was ruined within a few weeks. we tried all the mothballs and strips but nothing seemed to work. Still found holes in our clothes.Re: Moths.
Cedar wood rings/cubes/spheres are supposed to be effective.Re: Moths.
We haven't had wardrobe moths for years, but I still remember finding holes in a favourite lambswool sweater and silk skirt. I didn't do anything to get rid of them, just aired the clothes.
