I use mesh laundry bags to protect my clothes from a rather nasty moth infestation . The mesh needs to be v. fine - how fine is it in these bags?

They will likely contain some of the moth dust but probably not most of it. The mesh is significantly finer than a window screen but still porous enough to see through. Hope that helps!

The mesh is VERY fine. Can't picture moths getting in these bags. I love them. Hope you love them too.

Quite fine...much closer to pantyhose than window screen. Have you tried making some lavender/rosemary sachets?

The mesh is pretty sturdy. As with anything, you need to use common sense when loading it to make sure that your items don't puncture the mesh. We are very pleased with our purchase.

The mesh is between fine and medium. Crumbs will get thru it. I found the basket did not meet my expectations. It was smaller than I thought it would be, did not work well in the cooker I was using, and surprisingly foods would stick to it.

I've used both Herbal Moth Away sachets and cedar chip bags. They both need yearly replacement but I like how easy the sachets work into clothes and linens.

Yes, I haven't had any problems with the bags.I used to have moths in my house an it kept the moths out.

No. The "fabric" seems waterproof but the seams, zipper and hole for the hanger would not be. I think if you sprayed water on the bag or spilled water on it, your garments would be fairly safe.

I have a net laundry bag in the bottom of the hamper. I throw the clothes in the hamper and i suppose panty hosecould get stuck or something loosley knit, but I have no problem. I take the net bag out and fill it with the clothes and take it to the washer. Basically I like its size, chance to sit on it and looks.

Yes, it is small enough mesh. I took them camping with us and they were very helpful. No flies......as long as everyone remembers to put the cover back on.

I used the following methods and no longer have moths: (1) put out one Safer trap (2) put out one Propest trap (3) freezed for at least one week, dry cleaned or washed in hot water all my clothes (4) i now store all my sweaters in sealed sweater bags, my wool coats, dresses, skirts in hanging bags and all other clothes in breathable plastic zip boxes - all from Container Store (5) purchased 1 pound lavendar and put them in about 24 satchels and put them inside the boxes and bags with clothes. I once had an infestation and now I don't.

Yes, definitely. Not even a mosquito or ant can fit through the mesh holes...they are truly minute. The only entry point is the zippered entrance OR if there is a tear somewhere. The mesh is pretty tight.

You could use these for travel, but I think a mesh laundry bag would be best. That way if something is wet it won't get stale or moldy, and a mesh bag stores away easier.

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 have kept some clothing in a wet/damp basement. I've never had an issue with having clothes retain any smells or mold getting into the bags. They do tear with heavy use (as does any bag) but usually can be repaired with packaging tape.

Yes, with no problem at all. I'd suggest tucking the long drawstring inside the bag so it won't get caught on other clothes. I toss the bag in to dry after I remove my delicates to line dry.

Depends on what type of insects. I usually wear a shemagh under my mesh just to be safe for outdoor games. But if you're talking about insects like the size of flies, ants, bees, etc; then no.

No these are not quite fine enough, however if you search the site for a muslin produce bag, those are quite sturdy and should protect the produce from flies.

No. just enough odor that it keeps the moth's away! It really isn't noticeable on the clothes that are stored there.
