has anyone used this for a clothes webbing moth infestation?

I bought the Ecosmart insecticide for roaches. As far as I could tell, outside of a hideous smell it did absolutely nothing to kill anything but the time you spent to put it out. It may drown bugs, but I wouldn't trust it for anything else.

no problem, it says, product is only toxic to fish (don't spray in tank); I successfully got rid of moths, I recommend it; I used it indoors because that's were my moth infested carpets were; and I am still alive, did not get sick, did not use a mask - just use it with common sense (don't spray our hair...)

This will work for ANY kind of insect! Any bug that crawls thru it will begin to die. It's not instant like a poison but boy does it work! I keep a little of it in the back of my closets all the time. i put it out months ago and I didnt use much. I still find dead spiders and crickets in my closet every now and then.

I personally did not have a problem but I recommended this product to a friend of mine because she was having problems with spider in her condo. She had so many and recently she told me that she no longer has spiders in her apartment. So the product does work.

Simple answer - yes. I bought this for use at the horse barn where I volunteer. We have lots of dust and lots of cob webs. It works great at removing the cob webs as well as dusting the difficult to reach surfaces. Hopes this helps.

The product does not list clothes as a treatment option.....however it states not to put it on silk and Haitian cotton and not to use on white and off white fabrics. I also states that it is a natural substance. I sprayed it very liberally on my sofa, bedding, furniture and walls everyday when I had bed bugs. It did a great job for me. The smell is not that chemically roach spray odor, but it did become a little nauseating going to sleep amid the odor each night. I also use to spray my dogs beds, I noted no adverse reaction to the product.

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

These didn't work for me either. The only answer I found forFast little wool moths was bug bombing the house, closed upFor several houers. I wish I had a more benign answer.

The Safer trap seems to have worked. I caught several moths using the trap. but. I finally found the source of most of the moths, the headquarters so to speak. They were in an expensive handmade oriental rug in my dining room. I did not vacuum under the legs of a sofa, and they were nesting in the spots under the furniture where I didnot vacuum. In the future , I will move the furniture in order to vacuum. I had to moth proof the rug after it was professionally cleaned. I also bought a special spray that is supposed to kill the moths . The spray is made from chrysanthemum leaves. It is supposed to be non toxic to pets and people. We shall see. The Safer trap seems to have worked. I caught several moths using the trap. but.

You'd think so, but there isn't. Perhaps the first minute you remove the garment, but once it hits the air, it's totally fine. (And if any scent lingers, cedar is a nice one to have, as opposed to the scent of moth balls.) Hope this helps.

I would not use this. You don't want to breathe it. I would get some DIY liquid household insecticide and spray your carpets, and then put your woolens and silks in garbage bags with some mothballs. If you have freezing weather, throw the bags outside for a few days!

I really don't know, I haven't had them long enough yet unfortunately. I never really had a big moth problem, I was trying to prevent any moths from getting at the clothing, so I don't know that I'm going to be a good resource for giving an assessment on this. I think pretty much anything would lose effectiveness after about a year, though maybe not actual traditional white moth balls - but those are full of strong-smelling chemicals.

I have only used it on Sunbrella marine fabrics. It works amazingly well for that application.

I have not ever had that problem. I also have cedar blocks in the bags with my wool clothes, however. If your closets are harboring moths and larvae you may need to fumigate first before just using the bags alone.

To use moth balls one simply place them in an enclosed space or container along with whatever one wishes to protect from fabric eating moth larvae. They slowly emit fumes which get rid of the pests. The fumes are rather pungent so your storage chest or closet should be reasonable tight. Your woolens will smell rather pungent after you remove them for a few hours. Mothball do work for the purpose intended.

This product is very effective on many insects that we have used in Georgia and Tennesse. We mostly bought it for spiders and ticks. Does not take much to make a batch because it is very concentrated.

I have one in a book case and it catches moths. These are not as effective as another brand I've used but they are pretty good.
