What is the most effective method to store clothing against moths?

Storing clothing in airtight containers is the most effective method to protect against moths. Moths are attracted to natural fibers commonly found in clothing, such as wool, cotton, and silk. By using airtight containers, you effectively create a barrier that prevents moths from accessing the clothing. This storage method also helps to maintain a controlled environment, limiting air circulation and humidity, which can promote mold growth and odors, providing a double layer of protection for your garments.

In contrast, open bins offer no protection, as they allow moths and other pests direct access. Pheromones can serve as a deterrent by disrupting the mating cycle of moths, but they do not prevent moths from laying eggs on clothing. Hanging clothes in the open air does not provide any protection against moths and can actually expose them to the elements and insects. Therefore, airtight containers are the best option for effective moth prevention.
