How To Prevent Moths Attack!
Moths have made a comeback
Moths have made a comeback. You may think theyve gone away, but
with the milder weather we have been experiencing they are now
more of a threat than ever.
In fact times are good for moths... this milder weather means
they are having a picnic and its your clothes and bedding on
the menu! As the weather improves youll be leaving your windows
open, and if you leave your lights on it is an open invitation
to moths to enter your house.
No doubts your wardrobes are sometimes open too... all they need
now is for you to leave them alone to get on with destroying your
valuable items! So here are some great ways to prevent them...
Clothing Moths: -
Keep up with your dry cleaning because if done regularly
it will kill the moths and deter them from attacking the item
again. Make sure you put your clothes away in cupboards and
wardrobes when they are dry because moths enjoy moisture.
Moths also enjoy natural fabrics so storing your clothing
and bedding in man made storage bags and covers will provide a
great barrier to the Moths.
Grown Moths do no eat woolens, they just reproduce. So you
rarely find damage in garments that are frequently used. However
just as our grandparents used to do, it is a good idea to take the
items you dont use much or to be stored outside and shake them, even
beat them.
Wash your clothes at a high temperature (higher than 50
degrees whenever possible because this should kill the moths).
Washing garments at a high temperature may make this achievable.
Cleaning your carpets:
Carpets collect dust and this is a great place for Moths to
hide. Regularly vacuuming is essential and throwing away the dust or
bag is important because the larvae can remain latent within the
vacuum until emptied.
For this reason using a STICKY LINT ROLLER is a great tool in
removing the latent eggs from clothing and other fabrics. Its as easy
as rolling it over your clothes and over the floor of your wardrobe/
drawers to remove latent eggs.
Its also effective because its a clean method of getting rid
of them once youve rolled simply tear the paper off and throw
it away. This disposability is great because its another way of
ensuring the eggs are removed from the house.
Use a specialist Moth Deterrent such as a Moth Deterrent Spray
to provide protection on this difficult area.
Food Moths in the kitchen:
Clean the inside of your food cupboards regularly and if you
find moths eating clothes make sure you find the source and the
larvae. Because removing larvae will resolve the immediate problem.
Clean the crumbs and deposits in the cupboards that are
encouraging the problem a STICKY LINT ROLLER is again useful
for cleaning these areas. Ensure that you leave the Zensect
Food Moth traps up all year round and replace when necessary.
Storing your food in air tight containers will normally prevent
them from getting into your food.
Even if you only see the problem in one area make sure all non-
sealed food is thrown away.
