Balsara's Moth Balls are designed for homeowners, collectors, and anyone looking to preserve seasonal clothing and textiles during long-term storage. These gold-standard moth balls effectively eradicate clothes moths, eggs, larvae, and carpet beetles, providing a reliable defense against infestation and mildew in confined spaces. While highly effective at protecting natural fibers like wool and silk, users should note that the product must be kept strictly away from children, pets, and food items due to its chemical nature.

These are intended for use in enclosed storage like drawers, trunks, and sealed bags. They are not recommended for use in open-air closets where humans spend significant time.
No. Moth balls are toxic to pets if ingested. Always store them in containers that are inaccessible to animals.
It is recommended to air out any clothing or textiles for a few hours in a well-ventilated area before using them again.
While effective on natural fibers, they can be used with synthetic fabrics, though these materials are less susceptible to moth damage.
The duration depends on the seal of the storage container. In a perfectly airtight container, they can provide protection for the duration of a standard storage season.
Ensure the storage container is truly airtight; if air is leaking, the protective vapors cannot reach the necessary concentration to be effective.
Wash or dry clean the affected items and ensure they are completely moisture-free before placing them back into storage with a fresh supply of moth balls.
To achieve the best results, always place the moth balls within a closed system. Use airtight containers, sealed garment bags, or tightly packed drawers to prevent the active vapors from escaping. Compatibility is high with most natural fibers such as wool, cashmere, silk, and cotton, as well as fur and leather goods. When handling, wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the skin. Once you retrieve your clothing from storage, allow the items to air out for several hours before wearing to ensure any concentrated vapors have fully dissipated from the fabric surfaces.
