Help! I need a quick fix for a moth problem in my home. Any help will be greatly appreciated.?
The thing is I had never had this particular problem in my home. I do keep an immaculate house, because me and my child suffer allerigic reactions to varios stuff ( including dust ). We were blessed with house guests last week, and after they left I detected some moth in a closet. I do know about moth balls and am terribly allergic to the smell. I also went out and bought out the entire store of seadar bars. However, I am still seeing moth. So, if you can share any advice which might help me to deal with this problem once and for all, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.

Moths and other pesky little insects hate the smell of lavender, so why don't you make some little satchels and put them around your house (closets, drawers, etc.,). It smells much nicer than moth balls and cedar!

Have you tried Lavender Essential Oil, also did you know that Moth Balls come in 2 varieties
ParaDiChlorBenzine
Napthalene
Both have different smells, and you can get both kinds from Wallgreens

Moths and other insects don't like the smell of bay leaves. Put some around the house. (I used to get the cupboard moths from time to time, bay leaves stops it!)

Not a quick fix but if you garden it might help in the future. "Sweet Annie" wormwood is an excellent plant you can grow, then harvest the plant to put in the closets to repel moths.

leave one light on at night and put up fly paper all around it. I've never done it before but its worth a try you can get like 8 rolls of fly paper for like $2-3

Now I fairly have a question for you. is this your canine? if so, you could shop him out of the section till this dries. as quickly because it has dried,it won't harm animals. I fairly have a canine ,or I could say our canine owns us,and he or she has her nostril into each and every thing. i take advantage of this to maintain weeds out of the front backyard. Ortho Weed and Feed.
