Don’t let storage or moths become a problem on your next caravan or motorhome adventure!

I’ve already mentioned how limited storage space in your wardrobe can be solved with space saving hanger bars and hotel security hangers, but what do you do about items you need to take but don’t use all the time? If you’re lucky enough to be going away for more than a couple of weeks you certainly need to be prepared and that means taking more than you may like! This doesn’t need to be such a problem when you take storage bags – and especially vacuum storage bags – with you. Vacuum bags have the capacity to store jumpers, pillows, blankets, duvets, sheets and/or t-shirts and then by inserting your vacuum cleaner's hose into the valve the air is removed from the bag. Get the bag ready before you go for anything you may need later on your journey. There are many available including: the Large Vacuum Storage Jumper/blanket Volume Reducing Chest and Large Underbed Vacuum Storage Chest.

Travel Vacuum Bags are also available which are great for reducing bulk in your suitcase. These are two bags (Large and Medium) which are re-usable clear sealing bags, and all the air can be squeezed out by rolling the bag up so brilliant for travel. The clothes will retain their original shape and size. If you don’t require the vacuum style of storage you will still need to keep everything easily accessible and for this you can still use storage bags generally. The Oblong Storage Chest is made in a strong see-through Peva material with a nylon zip & two polyester carry cords. Ideal for sweaters & blankets… but if you need a bag which you can squash into whatever space you have available then the Peva Zip Up Storage Bag is ideal. Made of heavy guage clear Peva with a zipper, the bag measures 60 x 40 x 20 cms (23.5.x 15 3/4 x 8") – because it doesn’t have rigid sides you can fill it up a bit more and still squash it into a small space! All these bags are moth resistant which is a must and brings me onto how to keep moths at bay!

For clothing protection Clothes Moth Traps are designed to be hung in clothing storage areas, are simple to assemble and installed in seconds. Lasting for approximately 6 weeks from activation, they are easy to use and there are no chemicals. Apart from clothes protection Anti Mosquito Balls provide excellent protection… they generate a one metre protection field which makes them particularly effective in small spaces such as cars, tents, caravans, sleeping bags etc. – also ideal for those barbeques to keep the pests away. Caravanning4u provides great advice on the problem of moths such as using string bags to place five or six mothballs in four bags and depositing one in each corner of the caravan. Cedar wood is of course the natural moth repellent with a wonderful aromatic fresh fragrance and natural cedarwood balls are ideal for this.

Get rid of moths

We receive hundreds of telephone calls on our helpline with customers complaining that their clothes are being damaged by Moths & seeking our advice. You may find the following information very useful.

The dreaded clothes moth comes in a number of formats but the most commonly found in UK homes are Webbing Clothes Moth(Tineola biselliella) and Case Bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella) . Others that may be encountered are the White Shouldered and Brown House Moths.

The Webbing Clothes Moth is found in many a wardrobe and chest of drawers and will usually attack the very best natural materials, such as cashmere! Damage is usually just small holes but an attack can be very expensive as one hole can render a £200 garment unwearable!!!.
Webbing Clothes Moth as so named because they leave trails of silken thread where they are active. Life cycle can take up to three years. Average female lays 40-50 eggs.

The Case Bearing Clothes Moth is more commonly found attacking carpets and soft furnishing and can cause very significant damage. Having a life cycle at least twice per year and laying around 60+ eggs at a time, the Case Bearing Moth is a destructive beast. This moth is easier to locate than the webbing model! It lives its larval stage in a pupal case and these cases can be found littering the infested area. Sometimes they take on the colour of the fabric being eaten but most commonly are whitish and look like pieces of cooked rice! You can see the brown head of the larvae at one end if they are active.

Control :
As with most pests, hygiene is the key to control. Vac the insides of wardrobes, storage areas and hidden floor areas regularly and try not to store soiled clothes as these are much more readily attacked by moth.
Move clothes regularly, check for moth activity, take outside and shake or brush. The Roller Clothes Brush is useful for removing moth eggs from close knitted and woven clothing. Keeping clothes in proper covers can reduce the risk of attack significantly and installing deterrents into wardrobes and drawers, such as Cedar Balls and Aromatics, will deter moth moth from setting up home and destroying your clothes.
If clothes are found to be infested, then, if not too damaged, they can be placed in polybags (squeeze air out) seal and freeze for 72 hours. This will kill larvae and eggs. There are no insecticides that you can safely apply to clothes but it would certainly help to spray the insides of storage cupboards and drawers with insecticide.

Little can be done to protect carpets other than regular vaccuuming of hidden areas.
Infestation in carpets will almost certainly need chemical application to remedy. Some natural fibre carpets are pre-treated with insecticide in production but this is not a guarantee that the carpet will not still be attacked. Our extensive range of Moth Deterrents will help you protect your favourite garments. The items shown below are from our wide selection of products: Orphea Strips, Cedar hang-Ups, Clothes Moth Trap , Wooden Cedar Balls, Wooden Cedar Rings, Colibri Lavender Sachets & Hanging Cedar Wood Sachet

In our experience Clothes Moths are tenacious creatures & we recommend as many types of clothes protection as possible - Suit & Dress Covers, Sweater Bags, Blanket Bags, Duvet Bags, Vacuum Storage Bags.

Remember that the Clothes Moth loves the same natural fibres that we do - Silk, Cashmere, Cotton & Wool. They do not like man-made materials
