Moth Balls Are Back… But Not As You Know Them!
According to a recent newspaper article mothballs are making a comeback! This is what Tom Whitehead from the Daily Telegraph wrote:
“They were once a common feature in the wardrobes and drawers of the Victorian home. Now mothballs are making a comeback after the recent hot spell caused a population explosions, leading to clothes moth infestations.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the ministry responsible for pest control, was the latest victim when its Westminster headquarters had to be fumigated. Parks have also been hit by a growing number of moth caterpillars, whose web-like nests have left them looking like something from a horror film. Parts of Essex were also hit by an invasion of the toxic brown-tail moth caterpillars, which can cause breathing problems, skin irruption and allergic outbreaks to people who come into contact with them. The lava of clothes moths are often found in dark corners of wardrobes and drawers and feed off natural fibres. The latest wave has led homeowners to revert to the old-fashioned ricks of past generations.”
There are different levels of Moth Infestation in the home, some more severe than others and it can be confusing working out whether you have them, where you have them and how bad the problem is.

If you are in an area of risk you should take action now – either to get rid of the moth infestation you have, or prevent one from happening. Your action plan should include:
1. Getting further advice by downloading a FREE Guide About How To Get Rid of Moths
This is packed with top tips to help you with the moth menace and ensure you have all the information you need to tackle the problem
2. Protect with Moth Deterrents
There are many different products to choose from in our complete Moth Deterrents Range and our 10 Point Moth Guide will ensure you choose the right one.
Of course this is only the beginning. They last a long time but when they do run out you must make sure you replace your moth deterrents to ensure continued protection from moths. Don’t forget also to wash clothes before you store them and include a Moth Deterrent in your storage bag.
Even if you don’t have Moths now (or at least you don’t think you do!) is your own house in danger of becoming part of the latest statistics proving that Moth Infestations are no longer a thing of the Victorian past? And if it is, can you afford not to take action?
