If you have won the battle against moths permanently tell me how!
Over the last several years I’ve tried everything moth smoke bombs, spray, clothes protectors, boil washing/dry cleaning, glue traps, daily hoovering, only freshly laundered clothes go in wardrobes and drawers. No animals to drop hair, only have carpet (it is wool!) on the stairs, albeit even after several years no sign of them homing in on it. They tend to be more prevalent in spare bedroom and in my wardrobe (literally last year they had no shame and would casually be walking up the arm of my clothes every time I opened the door -resolves with smoke bomb but next season they are back! as they have a fancy for my clothes, and less so other family members stuff.
Have never been able to identify a single source of the problem, and find it hard to believe there is one in our case based on the fore mentioned. I don’t have anything wool, and will not buy anything Wool, silk etc due to moths.
Would consider changing the carpet to man made if it would guarantee success. Bought the carpet when we moved in and it was an expensive one and fear that If I do so It won’t make a difference and we still will have the problem as nothing has made a sustained difference to date and they are not problematic in the stairs area.
I’ve been obsessed about them at various points. To being more casual about it but I have had enough of living with them and want them gone permanently, not just till the next breeding cycle starts.
I’m fed up of their larvae chewing my cotton items even when they are spotlessly clean from a boil wash, and in some cases new!
