How do you get rid of moths?

[Iwantcandy]

They keep appearing and making holes in my clothes! Have some paper moth strips hanging in wardrobe and took all my clothes outside as apparently they hate sunshine. Don't want to use moth balls or anything too toxic as Ds is only 7 months. Just killed another one on the bedroom wall. Grrrrrr....

Should add I brought the clothes back in again -they were only outside for a couple of hours.

With great difficulty. I had them. I Cleaned everything on a very hot wash/tumble dry. Now I keep seasonal clothes in vacuum bags. I hoovered & cleaned everywhere then dumped Hoover bag immediately. Soft toys can be frozen I think to kill larvae but I didn't have room in freezer to do that. Be careful of any old rugs/ pieces of carpet as I think these attract them. Get the paper strips and little plastic things for clothes hangers. They are a curse!

you can use the moth killers that contain Transfluthrin. If you don't want to hang the chemical in wardrobes, put everything through the tumble drier and immediately (before more eggs get laid on them) put into big plastic bags or plastic crates with a moth killer in each, and seal. The hangers gradually release a vapour, usually enough to treat half a cubic metre each, so are not used to treat an entire room, they are only intended to treat a closed wardrobe or drawer. They usually last about three months before needing to be replaced. When you take the clothes out of the crate or bag, the vapour quickly disperses. It is destroyed by sunlight and fresh air.

Moths are attracted to clothes that have been worn and put away unwashed, especially if they have been worn by a woman, but once present, they will not go away on their own.
