The problem of moths may also arise for careful housewives, since the pests are very unpretentious to the "conditions of maintenance".

Sometimes it’s enough to forget about airing out the closet and leave stale clothes in storage several times.

Getting rid of moths is not that easy. Therefore, it is better to prevent the appearance of the pest in advance using available means.

What experienced housewives put in the closet to protect themselves from moths

Lavender

Our grandmothers were right when they actively used lavender for cabinets. This plant is our best friend in the fight against moths.

Lavender is effective in any form.

For example, you can simply leave a few dried flowers on the shelves. You can treat cotton wool with the appropriate essential oil and put it on the shelves of the closet.

You can take a bag made of natural fabric, fill it with crushed lavender flowers and store it with your clothes. The aromatic "surprises" should be changed periodically.

Cedar

Lucky owners of furniture made from this type of wood will never encounter the problem of moths: cedar has a special aroma that will keep the pest away from your home.

The corresponding essential oil has the same wonderful effect.

Treat cotton wool with it and place it on each shelf. Replace twice a month.

Citrus

The aroma of citrus fruits also seems unattractive to moths, which can be used to your advantage. You can dry lemon and orange slices in the oven, and then put them in bags made of natural fabrics.

You can also use essential oils with citrus aromas.
