Don't think that moths appear out of nowhere - this pest has several methods that it uses to settle in your closet.

For example, moths can move into your apartment with clothes brought from the store, or crawl from the jackets or coats of your guests.

Insect eggs can attach to your things in public transport. Finally, this "butterfly-like" can easily fly into an open window.

For the moth to feel comfortable and stay, two conditions are needed: humidity and lack of ventilation.

But, instead of trying to figure out the reasons for the appearance of moths, we suggest you find out what to do if you find yourself hostage to such a situation.

You have two options. The first is to use repellents that emit a scent that repels moths.

The second is to use insecticides, that is, agents that kill insects.

And, of course, don't forget about folk methods. It is known that moths are afraid of too high or too low temperatures, so, in addition to everything, you can wash things at a temperature of at least 50 degrees, or take them out into the cold.
