%#!/^#!! Moths !
This summer and fall we have had an epidemic of moths. You know, the scraggy little brownish ones that get into your dry goods, and--shudder--love to eat wollens.
Although I keep my kilts in suit bags with cedar blocks, I discovered to my horror that the little blighters had eaten a couple of small holes in one of my kilts. What to do?
I steamed every pleat thoroughly inside and out, steamed the inside seams of the suit bags, rubbed lavender oil into all the cedar blocks, placing one inside each kilt, between the hanger clips, and one at the bottom of the suit bag. I also put a few drops of lavender oil along the bottom of each suit bag.
Over the next week, I plan to vacuum every inch of my study....but will it be enough?
Questions for the rabble:
(1) What do you do to prevent moth damage?
(2) How can small holes be repaired?
EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.
