In order to get rid of the moth, you must first find its nest, the source of its spread. If it has started in products that have already been affected by an insect, they must be thrown away. And the food that is not yet infected should be placed in the freezer for two weeks. This will kill any moth eggs and larvae.

If the nest is not found, you can use camphor alcohol, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. Moisten any paper napkins with camphor alcohol and put them in cabinets. Soap does not tolerate the smell of camphor, so it will try to leave your house.

So with these simple tips, you can easily get rid of moths and save your products from damage.
