First of all, you can pay attention to the laundry soap. It should be cut into several pieces and laid out on the shelves.

Fir essential oil is also effective. You need to soak a cotton pad in it and then put it in the closet.

It wouldn't hurt to put a few sprigs of lavender or use lavender oil. Moths don't like that smell either.
