Plague of clothes moths

Recommended Posts

I'm probably worng, but I seem to remember that Sue was the mothinator.


There was an extended (and extremely satsifying) thread on this issue a couple of years ago. IIRC, a swift and final solution was eventually agreed on for the clear and present danger of moths.


Bastards f*cked up an unreasonably expensive suit of mine. They're on my sh*t list.

Huguenot no need for all this and to be upset in that way, Sue will be going soon and if she want's to continuous they can just go with their own team to another place so poppies can be free. Do you think this will work for you if not call new ones again everything will be fine.Sue is very understanding in all aspects she never gets upset the good thing about her. Enjoy :)

Yep :))


There's a recent thread (not recently started, but still being posted on) on moths in the ED issues section of the forum, I'll go back and look up the link to the place I used for my (successful - last year anyway!) extermination campaign :))

Your post on this thread appears to be your very first post on this forum.


Would it be very suspicious of me to think that you may perhaps have something to do with the sites you link to, since they both seem to go to the same website? Both selling anti-moth products? And the wording on the site is very similar to the wording in your post .....


Do you actually live in East Dulwich? Or have you googled for moths and found this thread in order to flog your stuff? You wouldn't be the first one ......


Edited because the rest of my post was a bit pointless given the above :))

Well I don't care if the posts were advertising a product, they gave great advice and it was useful, as it has been acknowledged that there were more clothes/carpet moths than there have been for many years, and this year may be just as bad. So thanks for posting. And we hope you'll stay to enjoy the rest of our forum.

Of course she won't "stay to enjoy the rest of the forum", she has registered and posted on here in order to promote her products.


There is already lots of good advice re getting rid of moths on the forum, which is on the thread I gave a link to above.


"Natural" products don't work (moths just ignore them). I have spent a fortune on "natural" products in the past before realising this.


Cleanliness certainly has a part to play.


Traps may give you an indication of the scale of the problem, but do not eradicate it.


Chemicals are the only thing which work in the long term, sad as this may be.


ETA: It is not the fact she has posted on here which I object to, it is the fact that she has not come clean about her connection with the website selling the products which she has linked to.


I don't like people who are economical with the truth.

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
