A different form of moth protection to the moth repellents, these then trap the moths inside the little box, killing them. One problem is that these sometimes attract outdoor moths who don't cause any damage to clothing or other household items, but as long as they are kept away from windows they will be a good form of clothes moth protection without causing unnecessary harm.

A lot of the moth repellents that can be purchased over the counter provide effective moth protections but due to their limitations, it's hard to cover all sections of the house. However, as they do not like any strong smells they will often gravitate towards one particular place such as wardrobes, dark corners, attics etc. Interestingly, one of the best forms of moth protection are the smells that are often found in normal family homes as it is such as lavender, scented oils and candles and other strong scents such as patchouli and clove.

So one of the best moth repellents is to simply fill your house with scents that are nice for the residents but too strong for clothes moths, providing the necessary moth protection without the uncomfortable smell that is associated with purpose made moth repellents.

For this reason, the Colibri sachets have a natural essence that is safe for both animals and people whilst still being an effective form of moth protection and repellent. It's possible to buy these Colibri products in a range of ways from small sachets that release a strong odor to incense sticks.
