Wormwood and Rosemary: The Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis and the Journal of Insect Science confirm Wormwood and Rosemary are effective botanicals to help protect paper, clothes and foodstuffs against indoor moth damage.
Bay Leaves and Camphor: The Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry and Journal of Molecular Science record Bay and Camphor as effective natural pest deterrents to help repel indoor insects and moths.
Eucalyptus Leaves and Pelargonium: The Journal of Forestry and Ecological Management Products lists Eucalyptus as an effective natural insect and moth repellent.
