April and May mark the peak moth season in the UK, as female moths begin mating and searching for places to lay their eggs. Each moth can lay up to 300 eggs, leading to infestations that can damage clothing. To combat this, experts recommend using natural repellents such as dried lavender, rosemary, or thyme, which can be purchased for less than £10 and used to create multiple moth repellents for about 45p each. These can be placed in wardrobes and drawers to mask scents that attract moths. Additionally, maintaining a clean environment is vital; female moths prefer dirty or stale areas for laying eggs. A thorough cleaning, including vacuuming inside wardrobes and drawers, can help remove existing eggs and deter moths from settling in. By combining natural repellents with good hygiene practices, homeowners can effectively protect their wardrobes from moth infestations.
