Fighting moths can turn into a real hell, especially when the pest begins to reproduce right in your apartment.
However, the reasons for this phenomenon may lie in the mistakes that many people make.
Let's figure out what you shouldn't do to avoid attracting moths to your property.
Why do moths settle in the closet?
First, you should get rid of all the extra clothes that you no longer wear. Moths' favorite food is things that have not been used for a long time, since they are often located in the darkest corner of the closet.
For the same reason, you should not fill your closet with clothes to the brim. Tightly placed items create a favorite environment for the pest, which attracts it.
If you like second-hand items, don't forget to wash them after buying them. Even though they are treated in stores, there is always a risk of bringing moths home.
And don't forget that moths love certain things, such as wool, cashmere, fur and silk. Therefore, the easiest way to save them is to hide them in sealed bags where the pest cannot get to them.
