How to Get Rid of Moths (Eco Friendly)

Moths are known for eating clothing, but it is their larvae that do the damage. When they hatch from eggs, moth larvae use fabrics as a food source, ruining your wardrobe in the process. There are many sprays and chemicals available for repelling moths, but there is a much easier solution that is also eco friendly. The cedar oil odor repels moths, keeping them away from your clothes.
