what's the best way to get rid of moths?

Answer 1

Throw all your clothes away, then they will have no where to rest

Answer 2

If you are talking about clothes moths then you need to do a multi-faceted strategy. A lot of this is what our grannies did and they werent daft! The odd moth flying around isnt the problem, its when they lay eggs. Check clothes regularly especially anything woollen. Give them a good shake before putting them in the drawer. Never put clothing with food stains in your wardrobe or drawers as the moths will lay on the food source. Check kitchen cupboards for flour spillage as this is a moth breeding ground. Air clothes in sunlight. Lavender is a traditional moth repellant but before you think about zapping them remove their habitat - they like grubby clothes packed tightly together in the dark without being disturbed - dont give them these conditions! And when you see a live one you can smack it between your hands as they are pretty slow moving. But dont kill other moths, they are lovely. Judy
