We have a bit of a sweater eating moth problem that needs to be fixed . It seems that mothballs are toxic to cats. Any effective but nontoxic solutions? We live in a small flat and the top of the moth infested wardrobe is kitty s fav resting spot.
I wouldn't suggest this.. it would make one's home smell terrible. Aside from that, moths are not like fleas. When you suck up the moths or larvae with the vacuum the trauma from sucking them up will harm them enough they're not going to come back out on their own.Originally Posted by Catapault
Toss a couple of mothballs into your vacuum cleaners, thoroughly vacuum the wardrobe, then discard the bag.
I wasn't aware moth eggs walked/crawled or flew - or that they could get back in the house from a vacuum cleaner bag thats been taken out to the trash (per your own directions of discarging the bag- not that many people even use bagged vacs now).Originally Posted by Catapault
Moth eggs are a different story from the adult moths and their larvae.
