Swedish Red Cedar Oil Cedarwood Moth Repellent Spray

Generally, moths are drawn to light; but the moths that infest closets, clothes, and furniture actually prefer dark, undisturbed areas. Not only a moth killing solution, this spray also leaves your carpets and fabrics with a fresh and pleasant lavender fragrance. Features and Benefits The active ingredient in all our chemical moth killers is TRANSFLUTHRIN – a fast acting pyrethroid insecticide with low persistency.A moth flying around the room is not dangerous, as it is only males who fly. They have poorly developed mouthparts and no nutritional needs. Their goal is to fertilize females. Males live up to two weeks; most often their lifespan is only 8-10 days, after which they die. Like bed bugs, the most common way moths enter the home is by carrying infected items into the house. Food that was not sealed correctly, brought from storage, or clothing from an estate sale can all be culprits. Once taking up residence, unsealed food containers or old clothing in a closet are open invitations to moths. If you haven’t used some things for quite a while and think that they may have become the moths’ nest, don’t hesitate to throw them away.

Moths have excellent taste in clothes, only they like eating clothes rather than wearing them. Moths can cause hundreds and even thousands of pounds worth of damage to your clothes if you’re not careful, so you need to know how to deal with them. If there are hangers soft filling in your closet, clean them as well as the fabric covers for clothing, as they can also contain moth eggs. In fact, female moths do have wings, but they practically don’t use them. Males easily find them and fertilize them. Females are harmful not because they eat natural fabric (they can’t do it), they lay eggs and produce new moth generations Moths also do not like the smell of mothballs, but it is not a natural method of exterminating them, and can be dangerous to human health. Moth balls based on naphthalene are especially harmful for young children, this fact is proven by the study of Connecticut Department of Public Health. Natural Moth Repellents

Cedar naturally repels moths, so it’s a good idea to use cedar hangers or other cedar items such as cedar balls in your wardrobe. 3. Store clothes better

Putting moth balls in your wardrobe is a very effective way to kill moths, though they can contain harmful chemicals such as aphthalene and paradichlorobenzene which aren’t very healthy for humans. They also produce unpleasant smells, making moth balls far from an ideal solution. A better option is to use cedar balls (see below). 2. Use cedar in your wardrobe The pheromones in cedar repel moths, so spraying some diluted cedar oil in a great way to repel them. You can make your own spray by diluting cedarwood essential oil, or buy a specially made product such as this Swedish Red Cedar Oil spray.
