Take a look at below from a Colorado State U. expert.; I made the Q&A into a clothes moth fact sheet a couple of year's ago and it is at: http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05599.html However, since then one thing seems to have changed and that is the availability of the lanvandin/lavender oil SC Johnson OFF! Moth Proof product. They appear to have quietly dropped it from their product line a couple of years ago - leaving fewer control options. Whitney Cranshaw > > > ------ > > Ron [email protected]
