I collect vintage clothes, although mine are kept in good conditions the clothes i buy could have moth eggs in them left from the previous owners. Although moth eggs can be easily killed by putting garments through hot water, this is not always possible as hot water can damage some fabrics. Since moths
only eat organic materials, my suggestion is a laundry detergent the contains non-organic microfibres or some other masking agent that would trick moths into thinking their is nothing edible in my closet so they will go elsewhere.

is there a resonance / sound level that moths hate? |
|

not necessary if you store the clothing in cedar closet or with mothballs.......nuke it first to kill the eggs which shouldn't harm the fabric |
|

Mothballs ..... Mmmmm, I love the smell of Naphthalene in the morning ...... |

"some other masking agent" - would spraying the garments heavily with Scotchgard do the trick? |
|
| |
And I would have thought that dry cleaning said garments would kill any bugs therein. |

i've gotta give this a + just because it gave rise to
Sleepygrass' above comment. the mental image does it
for me. |

//load the wardrobe with bat eggs//
Sorry to break this to ya, Sleepy, but bats are mammals, and hence do not lay eggs. |
|
| |
Why can’t you just genetically engineer a marsupial bat? |
|
| |
...that does the laundry. |
|
| |
Does anyone know if my idea is workable or not? |
|
| |
Yes, I think we all know. Except maybe you. |
