Moth Protection??

[Riverkilt]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that moths didn't like stuff out in the open, in the light. We had an invasion of moths a few years before my kilt addiction began. Was like a hord of locusts. Moths everywhere. So very "moth conscious." I keep mine in WalMarche' garment bags and out in the light on racks much like you see the Kollection on. No problems yet. Also keep a cat in the house to go after any moths that may make it indooors.

Could be a bit tough on the kilt material if there is any splash over, particularly nasty on PV kilts (which might actually be a fire hazard in and of themselves).

This topic came up a while ago and I found the following:

http://www.organize.com/cedrli.html

...which website I serve up only as an example of what's available...I've not dealt with the dealer not do I currently have these drawer liners. Just suggesting what might be the quickest and cheapest possibility if a quick and cheap solution is needed.

I have a whole package of the cedar balls inside of my "bargain bunny fur" sporran since that's another thing that the little buggers go after.

Be advised that cedar has to be "renewed" every once in a while...I understand that's done by giving it a quick sanding to expose fresh wood or to schpritz it with aromatic cedar oil.

some kilts will have to be sacrificed for the greater good.

There was a previous thread on this some time back (I tried to find it, but failed).

One suggestion was to keep the kilts in a deep-freeze!

There are also bags sold that are air-tight, and have a fitting that lets a vacuum cleaner suck most of the air out of them. That might also be a good idea, after you have thoroughly brushed and steamed the kilt.

No way is cold going to damage the kilt!

Aye, it is Pleater The Unmerciful who uses the freezer. Beware the carpet beatles of doome.
