Moth protection Moths can be a significant problem in many households. Especially in wardrobes where wool, fur or silk are stored, the pests can multiply quickly and cause substantial damage. To prevent this, there are various moth-protection measures. Proper storage The simplest moth-protection measure is proper storage of garments. Items preferred by moths, such as wool, should be kept in closed containers. Garments should also be aired regularly and not hung too tightly together. Natural measures There are several natural agents that can protect against moths, for example lavender, cedarwood or clove oil. These can be placed in the wardrobe as scented sachets or blocks of wood to deter moths. Chemical agents If an infestation is already advanced, chemical agents can also be used. These should be applied only in well‑ventilated rooms and in accordance with the instructions on the packaging. Chemical moth products should be considered only as a last resort. Conclusion Moths can occur in any household, but appropriate moth-protection measures can counteract them. Proper storage of garments, the use of natural agents and, if necessary, chemical agents can help keep these unwanted visitors away and prevent damage.
