my god sweety you've got a serious moth infestation. Buy moth balls from any store and place them through the room in closets under the bed, under the dresser. They stink but they work. Also, Place Cedar balls (which don't stink but moths hate cedar) in the drawers with the clothes. You need to wash every piece of fabric in the room and clean the room thoroughly. I would go ahead and place moth balls and or cedar balls through out the house as well.

After you wash something, seal it in a plastic container.
or if you need to protect everything you have, get cedar wood pieces. Moths don't like cedar wood. They have a spray you can spray on them too.
Target, Walmart, where ever. You must have alot of moths in your house.
You can use mothballs, but they smell bad, you really don't want that, I don't think they are good for your health either.
Cedar wood is the answer. They don't like the smell of the cedar wood.
They don't like light either. They like the darkness

Yikes - you have an infestation of something. It could be moths, or several other kinds of insects. Here's a good article to get rid of them. It also explains the different kinds of bugs and what they eat. Cockroaches, silverfish and carpet beetles can also eat clothing.

Mothballs can be dangerous - both to humans and pets, so they are not really recommended anymore. You might want to contact a pest control company to help.
Good luck getting rid of them.
