Re: Any Trouble With Moths?

Nice idea Tom. Dug out a 1 year old navy cashmere roll neck for its first outing of the year today, and what do I discover. A tiny hole near the neck that looks more like something's burrowed through rather than my tearing it pulling it over my head. Not happy!

The war continues.  Now the enemy among us are attacking our cultural institutions.  Even the mainstream media are waking up http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/11682039/When-moths-come-to-stay-theres-only-one-solution.html

Re: Any Trouble With Moths?

Well if they are you need a case of this stuff

https://www.amazon.com/Reefer-Galler-SLA-Cedar-Scented-Spray/dp/B001HP6SEE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1530356758&sr=8-5&keywords=sla+moth+spray#customerReviews

It is a serious can of toxic whoop-ass. If you read the reviews it gets top marks from regular Americans who can read the directions, and bad notices from wimpy french-fry heads who have no business wearing regular American men's clothes anyway. Do moths eat cargo shorts and t-shirts with "Peterbilt" logos, worn ironically? No, they have better taste.

I have used SLA on closets in a cabin in the remote woods of the Catskills for ten years now and I have not had a single moth problem. Mice, yes. Had one pop out of the perfectly understated shoulder of my favoirte old Brooks jacket one year. I had my revenge, though, with a marvelously poisonous product called D-Con which, because it was effective, our fine federal government decided to ban. Why? Because the same doofi who are afraid of moth spray, driving, and employment didn't read the goddamn directions, their cats ate the stuff and, not suprrisingly, got sick. Now people are selling their D-Con stashes on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

D-Con isn't banned, Patrick. You can buy it on Amazon for less than $8.

Not sure what all that stuff is about "regular Americans" (driving? employment? not following that at all), but I'm pretty sure moths don't care whose clothes they are wink

You can play a shoestring if you're sincere.

Re: Any Trouble With Moths?

I haven't shared this anywhere yet, but I have been dabbling with the mothhole repair technique shown here.
https://www.woolfiller.com/index.php
I use much less than they show.  It is not a perfectly invisible repair, but on a shaggy sweater it is close enough.  It is also very quick.  Total investment was ~$30 to get a "gumball" assortment of colored wool, a few felting needles, and the felting block.  About no skill is required.  A few holey sweaters have been fixed up and I'll see if I even notice it when cooler weather returns.
