" S$LAhr�,'o `TORONTO OUSe FIGHTING THE CLOTHES MOTH. There is no pest more aggravating to the housekeeper than - the moth which eats klothing, carpets and tap- estries,. It •is necessary to - keep con- stant watch for them and use every known implement of warfare. The very first precaution comes in the spring, when the znilfers fly about seeking dark places in which to lay their hundreds of eggs. It is not these moths which eat clothing, but the worms or larvae which develop from ' the eggs laid by them. But every moth or miller killed means about one hun- dred eggs less to hatch into destruc- tive fabric -eating worms. The eggs are easily destroyed if found and crushed, but too many escape attention. Simply airing and sunning garments will not insure the death of the moths. Brush well in all the dark places—along seams, inside pockets, under the collar, along the hem,' around the armholes—with a stiff -bristled brush. Then clean and air the box or closet where the clothes are kept, filling cracks and then varnishing and, if moths are known to be present, fumi- gating. Oil of cedar soaked into the wood—as much as will be absorbed— helps to make a closet or clothes box uninviting to the moth. Keep all closets and boxes and bureau drawers closed. Clothing that is used constantly will be quite safe if' brushed well once a week. When putting things away until winter give tb.em an extra hard brushing and cleaning. If garments are dry-cleaned before packing away there will be no live eggs left to hatch out. Take care to wrap, the clothes in heavy paper which is untorn, sealing the closing with strips of gummed paper or with paste that -will not dry out. The various bags on the market for storage, are or sto g , p the _igarment isthoroughly did t t e cleaned before putting it in. Be care- ful about closing the top tightly. For the average home there is no- ' tling 1}eti er tliaii"naphthalene-iii' the form of flakes, to scatter through the folds of cleaned clothes and in the closets and trunks and chests. We know it as moth balls. The containers which. hold the clothing should be kept tightly closed so that the fumes will not escape, as this is what kills'the worms. The drug stores offer paradichioro- benzine, a new remedy which is a great aid in moth control. Camphor is Iess effective, but if a good quality is used at the rate of one pound to each five cubic feet it will be a good, protection in tight containers. Pyre- thrum powder, if fresh and dusted through the folds of garments in a tight trunk or chest, will kill' the eggs and worms, but it soon loses its pro- tective qualities on exposure to air. For those who can afford it cold storage saves a lot of worry. It has been found that the' larvae would die to if exposed suddenly from.hot cold, and this principle suggested the use of cold places for the safe keeping of fore packing away in unbroken and tightly sealed bags, boxes or trunks. furs, and the like, But the one thing to remember is Constant watchfulness for the parent miller, hunting out and crushing of eggs, filling of cracks with ,naphtha- lene: flakes and varnishing, careful brushing and sunning of garments be - after every plea!
