Households urged to put lavender in wardrobes this autumn | UK | News
Households throughout England are asked to put lavender in their cabinets to deter them in this autumn.
The transition from summer to autumn means a change in clothes, shorts and T -shirts are often packaged to cause comfortable braids. However, while your Jumpers, cashmere cardigans, scarves and heavy wool floors can help you keep you warm in cold autumn weather, you need to run the risk of keeping these items properly or the fall of your autumn wardrobe by annoying moths.
Clothes moths are active in the UK thanks to the central heating that provides the warm environment they need for their development in autumn. Moth larvae, wool, silk and cashmere on natural fibers, feasts, holes, tunnels, silky woven and sand -like feces, leaving dark, silent and uncomfortable places such as your wardrobe and drawers.
But fortunately there is a way to deal with this problem, and all you need is a little lavender.
Clothes moths do not like the smell of lavender, so it is a great natural deterrent to help keep them away. Clothing experts recommend placing a few drops of lavender essential oil into your wardrobe and drawers to deter them common pests.
In Suit Direct, Nicola Barker said: “When entering Autumn, moths will be more often and can damage your favorite clothing, especially the knitwear with natural fiber content such as wool, cashmere and mohair.
“You can help prevent annoying moths from biting your clothes by investing in some fragrant wardrobes or drawer bags. In addition to smelling your clothes, it is your best friend when it comes to storage with scents such as cedarwood, lavender and rosemary.
“Regular cleaning is equally important. Moths are drawn to sweating, food stains and body fats, so make sure that the clothes are thoroughly cleaned before storage. As the visible residues can still attract moths, even clean elements should be washed or dry.”
If you can’t keep any lavender bags, you can try to make your own lavender spray by mixing about 20 drops of lavender essential oil with water and spreading it to your wardrobe and drawers. For an extra stroke, you can add some drops of rosemary essential oil because there is another strong odor that moths do not like.
Clothing experts also recommend that you add a few drops of lavender oil to wool dryer balls and place them in your wardrobe, or use them on the dryer to instill your clothes with odor.
Pest Control 24 Experts in London added: “Lavanta and Rosemary are combining their strong moth into this strong moth.
“Lavender is known for its calming properties, but did you know that it is a natural insect medicine? The benefits extend beyond loosening, this makes it perfect for DIY recipes like spray. Rosemary is also a multi -faceted plant with many use in natural drugs. Strong scent, the moths effectively keep the moths in the bay.
“To create your own lavender and rosemary moth back, each combine with 1 cup of lavender and rosemary volatile oils, each with 1 cup in a spray bottle.
“Shake thoroughly before each use and liberally spritz in clothing, sheets and cabinets. You can also spray directly to moth -prone areas such as carpets and furniture furniture.”
