Getting rid of moths

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

We suddenly have a ton of bastard fucking little moths.

Also we live in Scandinavia where the idea of getting rid of moths etc from your home is to leave a bit of orange juice in the corner for them to have a lovely snack then welcome them warmly into your family because god forbid you get rid of them so the moth bombs I would’ve used in the U.K. are not available.

We have cedar oil on hangers in the wardrobe and some sticky traps around but they’re still weaselling their selves in

PLEASE find me a magical cure

Not much help (sorry!) but even if you were in the UK you wouldn’t be able to get mothballs - they’re banned now. We’re suffering the same issues and are also yet to find ‘the cure’ 😩

I have good experience with bio pest control using tiny (=invisible) trichogramma wasps that eat the larvae. Pretty sure therell be a national provider or several wherever you are.

Welcome them warmly into your family made me laugh

It's annoying that you can't just use moth balls. A very thorough deep clean would reduce their numbers.

In our last place, I washed every single soft furnishing and clothing item, including rugs in the machine. Just normal temp.

Bagged them up in black bags until it was all cleared.

We then moved.

...But we didn't take any with us! I think if you tried doing something like this, they'd probably be gone. You'd also have to clean every corner, cupboards, skirting.

Mothballs are banned?! Why?!

does this mean moth bombs are also banned!?

Ive killed 4 with my hands today (just call me a James Bond villain…) looks like a serious deep clean is needed 😩
