I'm reviving this semi-retired thread because I've discovered (to my horror) that I have moths too. I've never had this problem before. But suddenly I'm noticing holes in my wool items in 2 separate closets.

I intend on buying some moth balls or whatever I can find at the store, but what do I do with them? Is it sufficient to put 'em in a small closet, or must they go in smaller sealed containers with the garments I'm trying to protect? In other words, will the smell of moth balls keep moths out of the closet?

Also, how can you tell if you still have moth larvae in your garments? Are they big enough to see? And if so, what do they look like?
