moths?!

[MrsPotatohead]

So, I've never in my life had a problem with moths or knew this was a thing, but just today have kill about 6!  They are very small, but I have no idea where they are coming from.  I'm not scared of them like spiders, but know that a) they do damage to clothes and b) it's still gross.  Do they have nests or something?  Where could they be hiding?  Or are they just getting in from outside?

My mom said to put ceder with my sweaters etc, but does that just deter them rather than kill them?  I'm not actually finding them in our room (ie where my clothes are), more other places like our hall so I'm confused. Can you do something to trap them like with fruit flies? Halp.

You can try getting mothballs, I think they are pretty cheap and just store them in places where you are noticing them. I do think they have a small smell to them though.

Ugh, that would be so annoying!

Mothballs smell disgusting! Go with Cedar or Lavender.

I saw the lavender suggestion and was like "ooh! something I actually like the smell of"
