Clothes moths

(1/8) > >>

Sergeant Pluck:
I have yet to find anything that has been munched by the larvae, but I do seem to be having a lot of what I'm pretty sure are clothes moths.

Any tips? I had read somewhere of some kind of parasitic wasp that you can get which likes to eat the larvae. Failing that, recommendations for suitably toxic chemicals appreciated.

Charlotte:
Balls.

Cyclops:
My balls are made of red cedar. Seems to do the trick.

No, I'm sure he's correct.  It's been in the news recently that there's been an increase of moths.


Following accepted wisdom of the forum, he must take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.  ;)
 

border-rider:
You can get chemical sachets.  It's the only effective  way.  We had them in abundance at the old house, in the carpets, and it was a constant battle.  They really do cause a lot of damage; the lounge carpet was totally ruined when we lifted the furniture and found they'd been munching away under it all.

IIRC the chemicals  are moth-type specific, so first identify the moth...
