Richards Homewares - Moth Away - Moth Away Herbal Moth Repellent - 72 Count

I've used these sachets for many years, and have found them to be virtually 100% effective in preventing moth damage to the huge amount of woolen clothing I store over the summer. Of course, I don't love the expense, but, compared to what it would cost to replace moth-damaged clothing, it seems worth it. In my experience, these sachets are way more effective than cedar, and, most importantly, are less of a health risk than the old-fashioned mothballs I used way back in the bad old days. I also find the natural herbal scent pleasant and refreshing.I double-bag almost all the clothing I'm storing, in large, unused plastic garbage bags closed tightly with twist-ties, and I use a generous number of sachets in each bag. This always seems to work. I also have one zippered bag in my closet, for certain items that have to be stored on hangers; I toss a large number of sachets into that as well, and I try to keep the closet door closed as much as possible; so far, so good.....NOT happy about the plastic bags, but after unpacking my clothing in the late fall, I always re-use these bags for garbage. (Regrettably, in our city, garbage must be placed in plastic bags in order to be eligible for curbside pick-up.) I do try to be extra-conscientious environmentally in all other ways to make up for it, including avoiding any additional plastic bags by taking re-usable tote bags when shopping, etc.......

Ok, I admit that I just started using this product so I am not entirely sure how effective it is. On the other hand, not sure you could tell after a longer time unless it failed and you had moths in your clothes. But I do love the smell--it is minty and herby and I bought more so I could use it everywhere. So much better than having everything smell like moth balls.

I like the small tea-bag-like packages. Even though the price doubled since my last order 2 years ago, I reordered because I think they repel moths. I hang them on closet rods by twisting a wire bag tie around a corner of the sachet and looping the other end of the tie over the closet rod. I use 2-3 sachets in each closet and one in each clothes drawer.

I have been using this product for years, and it has consistently proven effective for my needs as well as the environment in which I live (urban apartment in NYC). I understand that it might prove less effective in a humid or country environment. I hate the smell of "moth balls", I have no separate "storage area" away from my living quarters, plus I have a bird and a cat, and cannot subject them to the noxious fumes. Very happy to find the product on Amazon AND at an equitable price.

I have been using this product for years. I like that it keeps the moths away and clothes don’t smell like moth balls.
