Once I had a moth infestation in my pantry. It was loathsome. I threw
away everything that I thought even MIGHT have eggs laid in it, wiped
off everything before it went back in with Simple Green (Fantastic or
some other surfectant-loaded cleaner might work as well.) to remove the
pheromones that I could, and wiped the shelves also. I then placed
several small cedar cubes (bought from a local drug store) on each shelf
and that was the end of that.
Cedar is a well known moth repellent, it works well, and might even be
documentable. When were chests first made from cedar? Biblical times?
