Ive recently seen some moths flittin round. It seems that every one that the Lass kills another shows up in its place. In a effort to keep them off my kilts I cut some strips of wool & dabbed some lavender oil on each wool garment. Other things that I have heard that works are aromatic ceder(best), rosemary & Febreeze. What are the Cousins doin to keep moths off our treasured garments? Knotty

If you have room in your chest freezer, store your kilts in there. The moth larvae doesn't like the cold.

If you've seen moths around your kilts, definitely bag and freeze them for a few days. If it's just precautionary measures you're thinking of, cloth garment bags and cedar are the way to go. *artificer wanders off to re-oil the cedar closet* ith:
Frequent wear; periodically inspect and shake out the kilts I don't wear as often; use hanging cedar blocks; and for the ones I spot flying I keep a couple of these close to hand: http://www.amazon.com/Tool-Solution-...racquet+zapper
