FAQs
Can I use these in my closet?
These are intended for use in enclosed storage like drawers, trunks, and sealed bags. They are not recommended for use in open-air closets where humans spend significant time.
Are they safe for pets?
No. Moth balls are toxic to pets if ingested. Always store them in containers that are inaccessible to animals.
Do I need to clean the items after using the product?
It is recommended to air out any clothing or textiles for a few hours in a well-ventilated area before using them again.
Can I use these on synthetic fabrics?
While effective on natural fibers, they can be used with synthetic fabrics, though these materials are less susceptible to moth damage.
How long do they last?
The duration depends on the seal of the storage container. In a perfectly airtight container, they can provide protection for the duration of a standard storage season.
Troubleshooting
Pest activity persists after storage
Ensure the storage container is truly airtight; if air is leaking, the protective vapors cannot reach the necessary concentration to be effective.
Mildew smell remains on clothes
Wash or dry clean the affected items and ensure they are completely moisture-free before placing them back into storage with a fresh supply of moth balls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, always place the moth balls within a closed system. Use airtight containers, sealed garment bags, or tightly packed drawers to prevent the active vapors from escaping. Compatibility is high with most natural fibers such as wool, cashmere, silk, and cotton, as well as fur and leather goods. When handling, wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the skin. Once you retrieve your clothing from storage, allow the items to air out for several hours before wearing to ensure any concentrated vapors have fully dissipated from the fabric surfaces.
