Chrysanthemum Natural Moth Repellent Spray

Chrysanthemum Natural Moth Repellent Spray is environmentally friendly solution to fight clothes and carpet moths in your home. It is a fresh, fragrant, and a highly effective natural alternative to chemical insecticides. It can be used to treat carpets, rugs, furniture, the inside of wardrobes, or entire rooms.

Why is Chrysanthemum Good for This?

The Chrysanthemum formula is a natural insecticide unique to Total Wardrobe Care. The 250ml bottle contains a potent mix of natural pyrethrum combined with Total Wardrobe Care’s signature anti-moth essential oil blend which consists of May Chang, Lavender, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Laurel, Rosemary, Thyme & Clove Bud.

Our Chrysanthemum extract is sustainably sourced from independent farms in Kenya and our signature essential oil blend is sourced from the New Forest. This product contains no artificial ingredients no organochlorine pesticides, no synthetic materials, and no harmful synergists such as PBOs (piperonyl butoxide) commonly used in other insecticides.

How Does it Kill Carpet and Clothes Moths?

The active ingredient ‘natural pyrethrum’ is extracted from the flowerhead of certain Chrysanthemums such as Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. Natural pyrethrum has an insecticidal effect and kills insects on contact. When pyrethrum comes into contact with clothes moths, it penetrates the insect’s body surface and kills it. The Chrysanthemum Anti Moth Spray works in contact with adult moths, larvae, and eggs.

When to use the Chrysanthemum Spray

The Chrysanthemum Moth Spray can be used at any time of year to treat individual items of furniture, your carpets, the inside of wardrobes, or entire rooms. It is an excellent product to use as a first response to a heavy clothes moth infestation. Signs of a heavy clothes moth infestation include considerable visible damage to clothing in wardrobes & soft furnishings caused by clothes moth larvae, the sight of adult moths flying around the room, or the sticky board of a Moth Box becoming completely full with adult moths within one to two weeks of its deployment.

Insructions for use:

• Wear a mask as although the active ingredient is naturally derived, it is still potent.
• Close windows and doors, draw any curtains, spray around the walls, cracks, under furniture, on carpets, behind curtains, and in the base of the wardrobe.
• Leave for four hours, any insect will be killed on contact with the spray within a few seconds. The anti moth spray will carry on working during this time period.
• After 4 hours, open all doors and windows. Pyrethrum is highly photosensitive and is broken down rapidly by light and air so any remaining spray will evaporate.
• After a further 4 hours, the room will then be safe for use.
• If treating the inside of a wardrobe, empty the wardrobe first and wash or dry clean clothes before putting them back. Store precious and out of seasons garments in Breathable Moth Proof Storage Bags.
• If treating a piece of furniture, follow the instructions above to ensure that the item undergoes the full treatment. For example, if you are only treating a footstool, put it in a room with doors, windows, and curtains closed.

PLEASE NOTE: Always read the label.

About Total Wardrobe Care

Total Wardrobe Care – like us – are small British business. It was founded by fashion designer and tailor Julia Dee, Total Wardrobe Care came about when Julia was often asked the tricky question of “How to deal with clothes moths?” The answer was limited only to acrid chemical, highly toxic, moth balls. This wasn’t something that Julia found comfortable with, so what started as a brief dip in to the wold of entomology, became a 20 year journey to develop a range of luxury clothes care products, which are kind to fabrics, humans and the environment and work in harmony to protect clothes and fabrics from clothes and carpet moths.
