Let's start with the simple - the most basic way to get rid of moths is to use insecticides.

You can spray the room where the moths have appeared with dichlorvos or place mothballs in the closet.

However, in addition to their effectiveness, these drugs also have such a quality as toxicity, so they do not have many fans.

You have to look for options - for example, some people wipe the walls and shelves of the closet with vinegar, after placing the clothes in the freezer to kill the larvae and adults, while others use camphor oil.

Despite the fact that the listed products can no longer be called toxic, they have another drawback - a rather sharp and unpleasant smell.

Therefore, we will tell you about another method, which involves using essential oils from different plants.

First of all, we are talking about lavender, sage and nutmeg.

In the case of lavender, you can even place bunches of flowers in the closet. Someone may object - they say that a moth can also appear in a bunch of lavender. Indeed, this is true, but this is a different moth that does not destroy woolen items in the house.

Therefore, lavender seems to be a very attractive option, besides being fragrant and beautiful. If the clothes smell of lavender, sage or nutmeg, it will not cause discomfort.
