Help - Moth Attack

[Maribe]

Just a few of these have started appearing. One known casualty so far - DP's favourite jersey.

We are squishing the ones we see (about 2 per day) and have lavender and cedar everywhere, but I feel there must be more to do. I know we need to get the eggs but how??? You can't boil wash normal clothes. How hot does the water have to be to kill them off?

We are in a new place with bare floorboards in all but 1 room. Problem?

I am really worried this is going to turn into an insurmountable problem which will consume our lives, resulting in every second conversation being about moths.

Help please!!!

Your fears are well-founded. I have moths and I have had five visits from pest control people to spray carpets, curtains etc. Have spent hundreds and they're still not gone. Have become a moth bore. I kill the ones I see (gave up on the moth traps the pest control people gave me as they just ignored them).

It's sooooo boring and annoying and it does take over every conversation (well, in our house it just replaced the conversation about how to get rid of the mice )

either wash in hot water or dry clean EVERYTHING (wool, cotton)! It's a complete pain and outrageously expensive but essential to get rid of those buggers. Anything you don't use regularly (all those woollies that can be packed away while you enjoy the UK's finest show of spring / summer!) put them into those vacuum sealing bags (you know, suck all the air out of with a hoover). I have seen stickie cards with moth pheremones to trap them. I don't know where you might find them but there are useful for working out if there are any left.

I had moths for 2 years. they seem to be gone. touch wood.
