- Small fabric sachets or cotton balls (optional, but great for easy placement in closets and drawers)
- 10-15 drops of essential oil (such as lavender, cedarwood, eucalyptus, or peppermint)
- Dried herbs (optional, such as rosemary, mint, or thyme for additional pest-repelling power)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sachets: If you’re using small fabric sachets, fill them with dried herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or lavender) for extra moth-repelling power. Alternatively, you can simply use cotton balls as a quick and simple alternative.
-
Add Essential Oils: Add about 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil to the sachets or cotton balls. Some popular oils for moth control include:
- Lavender: Moths dislike the strong scent, and it has the added benefit of perfuming your clothes.
- Cedarwood: Known for its woodsy scent, it’s a natural moth repellent that also has anti-fungal properties.
- Peppermint: The strong, fresh scent of peppermint repels moths and adds a refreshing fragrance.
- Eucalyptus: This oil is another effective moth repellent and can help deodorize your home.
-
Place the Sachets in Your Closets: Put the sachets or cotton balls in your closets, drawers, and wardrobes, where you store clothes and linens. You can also place them in shoe racks or under your bed for extra protection.
-
Refresh Regularly: The scent from the essential oils will fade over time, so refresh your sachets with additional drops of essential oil every few weeks to keep the scent strong and effective.
