The moth deservedly bears the title of “pest of things No. 1”, since its main diet consists of natural fabrics – cotton, wool, silk and others.
If you're interested, here are some ways moths can appear in your closet:
- Along with wardrobe items that are already infested with moths,
- From the external environment, that is, flying in through open windows or doors,
- Thanks to pets,
- If there are other moth-infested items in the house (not clothes, but, for example, pillows, carpets, etc.).
Now that your curiosity is satisfied, we will quickly introduce you to a simple way to protect your clothes from moths.
All you need for this is the most ordinary soap. You can use toilet soap, laundry soap, and tar soap, and the last two are considered the best options due to their particularly pungent smell.
It is worth placing it in the pockets of fur coats, coats, etc.
If you want to be 100% sure that moths will not penetrate your property, you should use other preventive measures.
To prevent moths from appearing in your closet, it is recommended to regularly check and clean your clothes, store them in tightly closed containers or bags, regularly ventilate the room, and avoid folding damp clothes.
