I am having a moth problem this year. Of course they are only going for cashmere and the most prized things in my wardrobe, such as my Rick Owens capsule. I purchased some moth balls but they disgust me, so not an option.

I found Inge's link to the Guardian article about the moth surge. It was in link love in December. I think it's happening in California too, not just the UK. Another consequence of warming, as the moths have more warmth to breed in (indoor heat contributes too). So the jacket and dramatic cardigan in these pics, as well as two dresses, are getting holes from moths. I've thought about discarding, but you have to look in all of the drapes to find the damage. I'll wait until the holes get bigger I guess.

I took my RO moth food to the dry cleaners, but does that remove the larvae that feed on wool? The Guardian article suggests that freezing is the only way to go.

Thanks for looking.
