Tips from grandmothers to eliminate moths from your cupboards

Small inconveniences in your home can become big problems, but with simple and effective reflexes, you can overcome them. This is particularly the case for moths which settle in your wardrobe and wreak havoc on your clothes. The culprits are the larvae, small white worms with black heads that feed on clothing such as wool or cashmere.

These tiny rodents can invade your closets, furniture and clothes. They like dark corners but also live under carpets and in curtains. Discover a tip to remedy these pests and get rid of them for good.

How to eliminate moths?

Clean, vacuum and apply vinegar

If moths are already well established in your cupboards, you can follow these tips to get rid of these pests. First, it is essential to thoroughly clean your closets and clothes. Wash these and clean all your cabinets from top to bottom. If you have clothes with sensitive fabrics, you can place them in an airtight bag and put them in the freezer before washing. For your cupboards, vacuum all exposed surfaces and wipe with a sponge or cloth with white vinegar diluted in water. Moths should not resist this treatment.

To prevent the proliferation of moths in your home and cupboards, you can use these natural plants which will act as natural moth repellents.

Mint and cloves

Mint and cloves give off a strong odor which scares away these insects, they are good natural repellents. Use mint in the form of leaves, essential oils or even alcohol. Cloves can also be used in your closets and other storage areas in your home to naturally repel moths due to their odor.

Lavender or thyme

The smell of thyme and lavender also acts against the appearance of moths. Place small sachets of dried lavender or thyme in your cupboards to fight moths. The persistent odor of these plants is not at all appreciated by these pests.

Bay leaf and rosemary
