End of Season Clothing Storage

Clean Clothes Before Storing - Wash all clothing, and dry it in the sun before packing it away at the end of the season. This will help to kill any larvae that may be present in the clothing. Cotton garments can also be ironed as a further deterrent.


Store clothing in sealed containers—chests, plastic storage containers, suitcases, etc.


Use dried lavender sachets, or dip cotton balls in lavender oil (both available at the Bed & Bath Shoppe). Then, place in closets, drawers and any other places where clothes are stored.
