| Comment | Smoke bombs never worked for me, I think most of the moths lurk in places the smoke doesn't reach.
Vacuuming has been my #1 weapon but it's a pain in the ass. I have floorboards with rugs, so they crawl under the rugs and lay eggs in the cracks between the boards. I have to scrape the cracks clean with a wee brush while hoovering to get the fuckers out.
Furniture needs moved to get at the eggs under & behind. They make nests in places I never noticed or thought about, like among the fake coals in a gas fire I've never used, in the space under the bath, and at the backs of drawers. I think they eat the organic matter in dust, not just fabric, so they'll thrive anywhere that's dusty.
Sticky traps have also really useful for me - the fewer adults there are, the smaller the next generation will be.
Never tried freezing my clothes... I just put it through the washing machine and that seems to be enough.
Most of my flat hasn't been too bad so far this year, but they've taken over the spare room... The war continues. |
