What to do if there are moths in your closet: a curious life hack
Insect pests live in gardens and vegetable plots, but with no less enthusiasm they choose apartments and closets as their habitat.
The most harmful of this galaxy is the moth. It can be a food moth or a moth that flutters from shelf to shelf from woolen things to cotton ones.
Moths do not cause physical suffering to a person, but the moral suffering that the owner experiences when she sees a eaten shawl or bugs crawling in cereals is not much easier.
We'll tell you how to deal with uninvited guests.
A moth that has settled in food products does not carry infections, but the larvae that it will certainly leave behind as a reminder of itself will force you to throw out your supplies.
Food moths can appear in dried fruit supplies, in cereals and flour, other grocery products, and even in dill, caraway and basil.
How to fight
Until the pest's nest is discovered, you can even stop fighting it.
It is better to throw away spoiled products immediately. Stocks that are under suspicion, but do not show signs of visible spoilage, are best put in the freezer.
If the source of the pest's spread cannot be found, it must be driven out with camphor alcohol.
The product is sold in pharmacies. It is applied to napkins or cotton wool, and then the suffocating elements are placed in cabinets and shelves.
The moth chronically cannot stand this smell and will therefore be forced to look for another shelter.
