Moths are nasty pests. I have myself experinced the anger of picking out your favourite jumper only for it to have holes in it! It’s very tempting just to fill your wardrobe with mothballs. However…

Mothballs often contain a compound called para-dichlorobenzene. This is harmful to moths but also harmful to you as it is a carcinogen.

A much safer alternative is to choose lavender and cedarwood. Look out for them at your local natural products store. The scent of these items is sure to keep your moths at bay.

    Yup, moth balls absolutly reek!! I go with the cedar plank alternative myself. Simply hang them in the closet with your clothes, or put them in a drawer in your dresser to keep the moths away!
