This all-natural solution will keep moths out of your closets while also enhancing the aroma of your clothing and house.



You need to sift the clothing so that you may save the ones that are in excellent shape and throw out the ones that have moth damage. After washing, lay the remaining garments flat to dry, far from any sources of moisture. There are anti-humidity bags specifically designed for this usage as well. But if you'd rather play the odds in your favor, there is an other method of completely sanitizing your clothing while also scenting it and preventing moth infestations.

a-pine oil

To ward against insects, the mountain pine is a formidable ally.
Alpine pine, sometimes known as "Swiss pine" or "Arolle," is a mountainous region-dwelling plant with antimicrobial, antiseptic, and antifungal characteristics; as a result, it is very efficient in sanitizing and revitalizing enclosed spaces. Moths are naturally scared away by this plant. It is strongly advised to keep a cotton pad soaked with Swiss pine essential oil in a tiny bag and place it in a hidden spot of your closet in order to ward off any infestation of these pests.

Organic food shops and niche internet marketplaces selling essential oils and other all-natural goods often carry it.

A delicate aroma may be achieved by adding 10 drops of Swiss pine essential oil to the detergent compartment of your washing machine. This will not only bring freshness to your clothes but also prevent moths with its smell.
