Clothes eating moths

The season is on

If I let the spiders have free rein will they eat them?

No.

You need to get mothballs. 

Th  buggers ruined a lovely green tweed jacket of mine a few years back. 

Ps: I think you mean "moths eating clothes" or "clothes-eating moths". 

It’s your natural fibres they’re after, especially the ones that haven’t been recently washed.

If you have the option to wash and store your woollies in an airtight container, definitely do that.

Actual wool (or silk) though. They won’t bother with polyester.

I find they ooze on my polyester 

Like gross grey slug trails

Maybe if I box the naturals they'll get bored and leave

I live in so much chaos it has to stop
