Autumn is here. The days are getting shorter, and the colder weather seems to be slowly but surely creeping in. The increase in wetter weather sees an increase in creepy crawlies and other bugs making their way into our homes for shelter.
How do we protect your furniture and the garments inside from being damaged by spiders and moths?
We put up together top tips for eco-friendly moth-busting & spider-proofing your home this season.
Lavender
Lavender is your best friend when it comes to moth and spider-proofing your bedroom furniture.
Put some drops of lavender oil into your fabric softener when washing your clothes. Not only will it make your drawers smell lovely and fresh – it will deter away any spiders or moths from hiding in them.
Dried lavender also works just as well. Place a handful of dried lavender into a sachet and keep it among your clothes. It really does make them smell gorgeous!
Cedarwood
The last thing you want is for a moth to eat through your favorite item of clothing or damage your beautiful new French armoire or chest of drawers.
Cedarwood is a tried and tested way of repelling moths from clothes. You can buy cubes or blocks of cedarwood and place these inside your drawers, or in between your garments, in order to protect both them and the furniture.
Often just used as a repellent for moths, cedarwood is also a good way of deterring spiders too due to its odor.
Conkers
Often seen as an old wives' tale, conkers are a safe and easy way of potentially deterring spiders. Although there may not be any significant proof that this works, we believe it is definitely worth a try. Again, you can place these inside your drawers, and they will cause no damage to the furniture to your clothing.
