Methods to Ward Off Clothes Moths From Wool Garments
Beaumur studied moth aversion to wool odors noting wool and washed water repels moths. Tobacco smoke and turpentine fumes can kill moths if rooms are sealed tight for 24 hours. Cedar scent repels eggs, but loses effectiveness with age. Packing in cedar, bags of stout paper, or cotton cloth before moths appear offers protection, yet existing eggs hatch if garments are already infested.
