.... 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
....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
The 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
The 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.
