    Possible non-toxic moth protection.

    I hang my wool kilts with no cedar or other protection in my closet with the rest of my kilts and have never seen any sign of damage from moths
    It is either that I live in an area where wool eaters don't exist or it is my bug zapper that kills moths that get into my house. It get 1 or 2 moths a week this time of year.
    They are attracted to the ultraviolet light and cooked by the high voltage grid. I have it in my living room on a timer so that it runs from dusk to when the house is dark for a couple of hours at midnight. It is not placed over any furniture as mosquitos explode when zapped. I also built a catch tray under it to collect most of the victims. Moths, being rather large, don't explode they sizzle and roast for about 5 minutes. This smells like burning hair so when I am around and hear the sizzle I clear them out of the grid with a wooden stick and they drop into the catch tray. The smell seems to be the only down side of this approach. Seems effective for all my flying pests but house flies.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
