The Great Moth Conspiracy: Why They Always Find Your Favourite Clothes

Ever noticed that moths don’t go for your ratty old gym socks or that weird polyester jumper you never wear? No, they have taste—refined, expensive, and highly inconvenient taste. They always seem to go straight for your finest wool coat, your favourite cashmere jumper, or that silk dress you’ve been saving for a special occasion.

Coincidence? We think not.

Welcome to The Great Moth Conspiracy—where tiny winged pests conspire to destroy your best clothes while leaving the cheap stuff untouched. But don’t worry, The Moth Men are on the case.

Moths Are Basically Fashion Critics

You might think moths are just randomly chewing their way through your wardrobe, but in reality, they’re picky little creatures with very specific dietary needs. Their larvae don’t just eat any fabric—they go straight for the high-end menu.

Why? Because of a little thing called keratin.

• Keratin is a protein found in natural fibres like wool, silk, cashmere, fur, and even feathers.
• Synthetic fabrics (polyester, acrylic, nylon) don’t contain keratin, which is why moths couldn’t care less about them.
• If your clothes are a blend of wool and synthetic fibres, the moth larvae will strategically chew through the wool portions, leaving behind a delicate lacework of destruction.

And just like that, your favourite jumper is a moth-ravaged disaster, while your £5 bargain-bin hoodie remains untouched.

How You’re Accidentally Inviting Moths to Dinner

Moths don’t just love wool and silk—they love your version of it. That means they’re particularly attracted to fabrics that have absorbed your natural body oils, sweat, and food stains.

Basically, if you:
✅ Put away a jumper without washing it first...
✅ Leave clothes undisturbed for months…
✅ Store off-season clothes in an open wardrobe…

Congratulations! You’ve just provided the moth equivalent of a five-star restaurant.

Here’s how to cut them off before they settle in:

🔥 Wash or dry-clean your clothes before storing them – Clean fibres are far less tempting to moth larvae.
🔥 Store wool and silk in airtight containers – Moths hate sealed spaces.
🔥 Use pheromone traps – The best way to catch them before they breed.

Moth-Proofing: How to Make Your Clothes Unappealing (to Moths, Not Humans)

The good news? Moths are predictable. Once you know what they’re after, you can beat them at their own game.

Step 1: Trap the Males Before They Ruin Everything

Moth reproduction is the real problem—no eggs, no larvae, no wardrobe destruction. Our pheromone traps work by luring in the lovesick males, stopping them from finding a mate. No mates? No babies. No babies? No holes in your clothes. Simple.

Step 2: Create a No-Go Zone

• Keep your wardrobe moving—moths love undisturbed spaces.
• Vacuum regularly, especially in dark corners and under furniture (yes, moths can hide there).
• Use airtight garment bags for out-of-season clothes.

Step 3: Store Smart, Not Sorry

If you’re serious about stopping moths, invest in storage solutions that actually work.
✅ Vacuum-sealed bags – No oxygen, no moths.
✅ Cedarwood blocks – Smells nice, mildly deters moths (but doesn’t stop an infestation).
✅ The Moth Men’s pheromone traps – The real MVP.
