A moth that has settled in a closet often becomes the reason for a complete change of wardrobe - it is unlikely that any of your things will not be to the pest's taste.

If you don’t want to go shopping for new clothes, or wear sweaters and skirts riddled with holes from a gluttonous butterfly, try protecting your things using an old folk method.

It is based on the fact that moths, like many other insects, cannot stand the smell of cinnamon.

And if you mix cinnamon with cloves and black pepper, you get a completely lethal remedy.

It will help you easily free your wardrobe from the pest that has taken up residence there.

So, find a small cloth bag and fill it with 1 tablespoon of dried cloves and the same amount of black pepper.

After this, add a clove stick to the spices and place the resulting sachet on a cupboard shelf.

A persistent scent that is not unpleasant to humans will disgust the moth and it will no longer spoil your clothes.
