Fed up about moths making holes in your clothes?

Fortunately, there is a recipe for natural and super effective moth balls . Moths hate it!
Don't worry, it's really super easy to do! Watch:
- 30 g of beeswax
- 30 g baking soda
- 30 drops of cedar essential oil
- an empty and clean tin can
1. Put the wax in the can.
2. Heat the wax in a bain-marie.
3. Add baking soda.
4. Put the essential oil.
6. Mix well.
7. Put the resulting paste in the ice cube tray.
8. Let it solidify for 30 min.
9. Once solidified, unmold the pellets.
10. Distribute them in the cupboards where you store your laundry.
And now, thanks to this natural anti-moth product, you can say goodbye to moths in your cupboards :-)
Easy, fast and effective, right? No more little holes in your clothes!
With this moth repellent, they will quickly get out of your cupboards.
Sweaters, coats, T-shirts, dresses and skirts, curtains, fabrics, fabric sofas, rugs and even furs...
All your textiles are now protected from the voracity of these critters.
Be aware that commercial mothballs are harmful to your health.
They are composed of naphthalene which is crystallized hydrocarbon. The characteristic scent that emanates from these balls is therefore toxic to humans.
- Better to use a tin can to melt the wax because it is difficult to get the container coated with melted wax again.
- To speed up the solidification process of the balls, you can put them in the freezer.
- You can replace Atlas cedarwood essential oil with clove essential oil.
- If you are in a hurry, pour a few drops of one of these essential oils on a porous stone picked up on the beach or on horse chestnuts:Atlas cedar, clove, lavender, thyme, rosemary, mint or eucalyptus.
Moths are small gray butterflies. Females like to lay eggs in dark, quiet spaces.
They appreciate the smell of sweat, fabric and clothing.
The eggs eventually hatch and it is the moth larvae that cause havoc in our cupboards.
These small larvae are voracious and use the fibers of textiles to feed and make a cocoon.
Hence the small holes everywhere in the clothes that are stored in the closets...
Moths hate certain smells like Atlas cedar, clove, lavender, thyme, mint or eucalyptus.
These scents are a true natural moth repellent. When they smell these smells, they move on and go lay eggs elsewhere!
Against moths, know that there is another simple and natural trick.
You can also make an apple of amber by sticking cloves on an orange.
Try it and you will see that it works just as well!
