Wasps vs Moths ... the showdown

We've been battling a clothes moth infestation for years. I suspect it started when we accepted a bag of hand-me-down kids clothes from a friend and stored it in the loft. We thought that we had them beat with the sticky pheromone pads, having caught billions and then had a long gap with no sign of them. Now the evil things are back.
So, a new approach...
I have ordered trichogramma evanescens which are minute wasps that seek out and destroy all moth eggs.
Has anyone tried this before? (should have asked before I ordered them admittedly).

I haven't tried that BUT since spraying a homemade mint spray in the top cupboards near the attic (to deter mice and other scratching going on ) There haven't been any moths either! It wasn't too bad tbh.

Not tried wasps but sending sympathies as we are also battling a clothes moth infestation. Where are they hiding?!

Get yourself some of this spray i got a few and did all wardrobe clothes and draws also carpets if you have them as they lay eggs
