Help! Moths Are Eating My Clothes.

At first it felt like a dream. It was like a dream. I woke up this morning feeling elated and almost dream-like. I took a hot bath, opened my designer wardrobe…



…..when suddenly it turned terribly wrong. As though my reverie capsule crashed on planet reality. I was wounded badly in this horrible nightmare.



My clothes! My shirts!…my beautiful, expensive shirt!

What horror could possibly cause this calamity?

Nooo. No no no no



Was it a rat?



Cockroaches?

O Please do not insult me. “I don’t have those disgusting creatures in my house”. It’s like a rite of passage I repeated over and over again.

Shaken and defeated, I googled ‘that-nasty-little-thing-that-eat-my-shirt-I -hope-it’ll-rot-in-hell'. And to my delights there is other possible culprit - a moth.

Yes, that's it! - a moth. That must be it. I breathed a little easier.

“But it’s not moths that cause damage, but the larvae that hatch from their eggs. Larvae look like small white caterpillars. They eat any natural fibres including wool and silk. To kill them:

1. Wash all your clothes at the highest-advised temperature.

2. Put any ‘dry-clean only’ items into a plastic bag and leave in the freezer overnight.

3. Sore items in sealed plastic bags – air them regularly. Try to keep the inside of your wardrobe dust-free and use natural repellents such as lavender oil or cedar wood ”

Having printed that out. I googled ‘that-nasty-little-thing-that-stole-my-shoes-I -hope-it’ll-rot-in-hell.

I better clean up my room as much.
