6. Mix well.
7. Put the resulting dough in the ice cube tray.

Results
And there you have it, thanks to this natural moth repellent, you can say goodbye to moths in your cupboards :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, isn't it? No more small holes in your clothes!
With this moth repellent, they will quickly clear your cupboards.
Sweaters, coats, T-shirts, dresses and skirts, curtains, fabrics, fabric sofas, rugs and even furs ...
All your textiles are now protected from the voracity of these critters.
Be aware that commercially available mothballs are harmful to health.
They are made up of naphthalene which is crystallized hydrocarbon. The characteristic scent emanating from these balls is therefore toxic to humans.
Additional advice
- Better to use a tin can to melt the wax because it is difficult to get the container coated with melted wax.
- To speed up the process of solidifying the balls, you can put them in the freezer.
- You can replace Atlas cedar essential oil with clove essential oil.
- If you are in a hurry, pour a few drops of one of these essential oils on a porous stone picked up on the beach or on horse chestnuts: Atlas cedar, clove, lavender, thyme, rosemary, mint or eucalyptus.
Why does it work?
Moths are little gray butterflies. Females like to lay eggs in dark and quiet spaces.
They like the smell of sweat, fabric and clothes.
The eggs eventually hatch and it is the moth larvae that wreak havoc in our cupboards.
These small larvae are voracious and use the fibers of textiles for food and cocoon.
Hence the small holes all over the clothes that are stored in the closets ...
Moths hate certain smells like that of Atlas cedar, cloves, lavender, thyme, mint or eucalyptus.
These scents are a real natural moth repellant. When they smell these smells, they go their way and will lay eggs elsewhere!
