I had no idea about the lavender, but I bought a (huge) amount of lavender to be thrown at my wedding (instead of rice ;). Since then, I've sprinkled it into all my tubs of clothing, but nore for the scent. Good to know it actually may have helped in another area! hmmm.

Although I didn't see any signs of moths there and she was very careful with her clothing storage. It's just as likely they came from something thrifted. I have never had them in my kitchen but I have several friends who have, both here and in Vancouver (WA). It's definitely worth it to freeze your flour. And what I do now with thrifted clothes is freeze them if they aren't washable. dcrmom ~ I am feeling a little packed in the freezer dept., but we have a smallish chest freezer downstairs. This time of year, before harvest or hunting seasons, I intentionally keep it less full of food so that I can put clothes in. Another option would be to rotate winter stuff through, just to be safe, especially if you didn't have a moth problem. And lavender helps with moths, so I just bought a nice lavender candle for my bedroom and put dryer sheets with lavender essential oil under the bed.

Are there a lot of moths up here? I never had any issues before but we lived in a different-climate to say the least! I'll definately use it for the flour! That’s a really good idea.

I'm allergic to cedar, so I'll have to try this. A good idea, put em in the deep freeze. I’m allergic to cedar, so I’ll have to try this.
