Moths in the household - fight pests with these tips

Sometimes it just can't be stopped completely and the moths strike. Then a deep cleaning is the order of the day - both of the clothes and the wardrobe. The larvae of the moth are particularly dangerous. The female lays up to 300 eggs and then happily eats her way through the textiles. One way to control moths is

cold

. Garments that shouldn't be washed hot benefit from this. Put the infected textile in the freezer for seven days - pack it in a plastic bag beforehand. Alternatively, you can hang the clothes outside. This effect only works if it is still cold enough at night. Clean the closet with a

mixture of vinegar and water

.

The high acid content cleans reliably.

It is best to vacuum everything out before you start wet cleaning.

Then wipe everything dry and let the cabinet air out a little.
