Moth-Avenger Old Cinnamomun Camphora Root Block
These Moth-Avenger Old Cinnamomun Camphora Root Blocks are a great investment if you own expensive wool coats, clothing, and rugs. They can provide extended moth proof protection without chemicals or frequent reapplication. And if you ever had a favorite item of clothing ruined by moths, the name Moth-Avenger feels very appropriate.
ABOUT CLOTHES MOTHS
Tineola bisselliella, better known as the common clothes moth, are tiny beige moths that eat fabric and paper, especially wool and cashmere. They are also fond of eating fur, silk, felt and feathers. When they are done, they leave behind a trail of tiny holes in their wake. Clothes Moths can attack coats, clothing, rugs and even upholstery and bookbindings. By the time you actually see a moth in your house, it is too late: the microscopic eggs have hatched and ate some fabric in your home. With only a 10-day or less hatching cycle, a hoard of moths can be attacking your wardrobe pretty quickly before you even know you have a moth problem.
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CLOTHES FROM MOTHS
Some limited success has been had with lavender to keep these wardrobe ruiners at bay, but the lavender fades after a while and loses its effectiveness. Camphor Oil has an intense scent that deters moths and flies but needs to be frequently refreshed.
ABOUT MOTH AVENGERS OLD CINNAMOMUN CAMPHORA ROOT BLOCKS
Cinnamomun camphcra is an aromatic wood that is safe to be around children and pets but can still provide moth control. The scent is a general deterrent to other pests as well. The Camphora root smells stronger than the branch or Oil, so it provides the best protection.
They come four blocks to a pack. The blocks can last for a decade, which makes them ideal for the long-term storage of items like wedding dresses, vintage clothing, winter coats, hats, and furs. They each have a hanging loop, so they can be placed on a hanger or hook and hung in a closet to protect multiple items at once. When the smell dissipates, rub it lightly with sandpaper to renew the scent.
I hung one in my winter coat closet, one in my winter wardrobe closet and another in my currently used clothing closet, the fourth I put in with my Grandmother’s wedding dress. I have been pleased with how easy it is to hang them and forget about them, and while multiple blocks are an investment, they are cheaper, smell better and are more efficient than mothballs or lavender, especially when they can be used for years.
Recommended item, safe and effective. Wish I had these blocks sooner.
