Why Choose Wardrobe Scents?
TRUSTED BY AUSTRLIA'S HERITAGE EXPERTS
The natural chemicals in our aromatic botanical blend work in 2 ways:
1. Chemically blinding male moths and preventing them from finding a female to mate with.
No eggs, no larvae, no damage. It’s the larvae that eat our stuff.
2. Creating an inhospitable microclimate for the other listed insect pests.
Rather than chemically blinding, the intense concentration of secondary metabolites triggers a direct avoidance reflex, forcing the insect-pest to abandon the immediate area.

Our sachets naturally refresh indoor storage areas, cars and luggage too.
1. Developed for use in indoor dry storage areas, away from moisture and condensation.
2. Hang or place sachets in indoor dry storage areas: internal shelves and drawers, in coat pockets and indoor dry storage areas. Leave our label attached.
3. Natural long-life aromatic effectiveness.
4. No need for artificial air fresheners.
TIP
Although unnecessary for eco-pest effectiveness, an occasional "gentle tickle" will enhance the natural botanical scent of your sachet.
TOP TIP
The best defence against indoor pest insects is to ensure your collections are annually checked for pests.

Testimonials
Dr Ted Edwards
Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC) Lepidopterist; Honorary Fellow CSIRO's Australian National Insect Collection.... moth balls .... contain toxic chemicals, so instead consider using natural alternatives like sachets of dried lavender... bay leaves... insecticides or professional fumigation should be considered as last resorts." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-17/how-to-deal-with-clothes-and-pantry-moths-in-your-home/9425618
NIH (National Library of Medicine) National Centre for Biotechnologgy Information
....botanical insecticides containing mixtures of chemical compounds can affect both behavioral and physiological processes. Thus, the chance of pests developing resistance to such substances is very low. It seems that seeking bio-insecticides which are efficient, as well as being suitable and adaptive to ecological conditions, is essential in obtaining sufficient insect control
https://www.planetnatural.com/pest-problem-solver/household-pests/clothes-moth-control/
Planet NaturalThe larvae of clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella) attack garments, carpets, furs, blankets, upholstery, piano felts, brush bristles, and a number of other related items. Fabrics stained by foods, perspiration, or urine are most subject to damage. Synthetics or fabrics such as cotton are fed on if they are blended with wool
Journal of Economic Entomology, Volume 115, Issue 5, October 2022, Pages 1375–1408, https://doi.org/10.1093/jee/toac083
Visualiser of Interiors - CopyThe allures of city life have culminated in the rise of urban populations resulting in conditions that promote the establishment of certain insect pests. Globally, the public health significance of these urban insect pests is enormous, ranging from billions of dollars to loss of lives. Most chemical insecticides no longer provide the anticipated level of control, and significant insecticide resistance has been reported.
