Ah Merino, so comfortable, yet so tasty to those f-ing moths. I've lost so much clothing recently, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Natural mothballs, it's where it's at!
You mean Cedar balls? Cos they didn't do shit...
Dried clove, rosemary, and thyme can ward them off. Put some in a little bag and then put it amongst your clothes.
Nice. Altogether, or will rosemary just do the job?
All of what used to be termed ‘strewing herbs’ will help, none will do what a chemical bomb will.
Cedar balls are a mild preventative. They’’ll do jack shit about an infestation.. another old fashioned is a whole orange studded with cloves (dried out) and hung in your cupboards. Then good old lavender, there is a reason for granny smell
