My Clothes Moths Nightmare | The Only Way To Stop a Clothes Moths Infestation
About this video
The Gazette team shares their personal experience dealing with a destructive clothes moth infestation in their home and wardrobe. They document various failed remedies like vodka spray and cedar solutions, then detail their eventual success using parasitic wasps (Trichogramma wasps) as a biological control method, which they now use monthly as preventative maintenance.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that clothes moths hide in dark, undisturbed places like sweater folds, pant cuffs, vents, and even furniture crevices, making them difficult to locate and eliminate
- The Gazette team found that common home remedies like vodka spray, steam treatment, cedar wood, and glue traps are ineffective at eradicating infestations, though glue traps can help identify the problem
- The Gazette team recommends parasitic wasps (Trichogramma wasps) delivered monthly as an effective biological control solution that kills moth eggs throughout the home at minimal cost
