Clothes moths - what order for bombs / hoovering / moving main moth area

I've been on the moth killer website and I have the box of killy stuff. I know that the main source of the problem is my bottom drawer in a large chest of drawers, but I've also seen moths flying around the room, in the adjoining room and in another drawer.

I'm not sure what order to do things in and where to put all the clothes as I won't be able to wash them all at once.

My current plan is to tackle first room like this:

  • Clear out other drawers (not main moth drawer), bag up stuff for bin and throw away, bag up stuff for washing in black liners.
  • Clear out main moth drawer, throw away loads, handwash any surviving wool, washing machine other stuff, use black liners for washing that won't fit in machine straight off. Leave all black liners of clothes in moth infested bedroom.
  • Then spray all the drawers with the killy spray
  • Then do the fog killy things
  • Then come back three hours later and move all the furniture to hoover under it

But is that the right order to do things in? Should I be moving furniture and hoovering first? Should I be moving the black bin bags of clothes into another room (but what if I spread the moths)?

I've found other threads but they seem to be more about what to buy rather than what order to do it all in.

Ugh, moths.
