Any tips on getting rid of moths? (Without using toxic balls.) May 22, 2012 04:13 8 Comments

Albuquerque is aswarm with moths this year. I've been doing online research to find safe ways to repel them, and I came across this tidbit from pestexterminator.com:

Spices like cloves, bay leaves, and eucalyptus can be placed on cupboard and pantry shelves to ward off moths and keep them from infesting cereal boxes, flour bags, and other dried food products.

Has anyone tried this? If so, let me know if it works! Please. I don't want our clothes to provide a culinary delight for them! Several local sources say miller moths don't eat clothes, but I'm skeptical. In Prescott, moths dined on several of my favorite woolens. So, be peaches, and share your moth elimination tips with me.
