I'm glad it was just a mitten and my favourite jacket is okay.<br /><br />Pippin is cute, but Ziggy is really photogenic. He's actually slightly odd-looking when you see him in the flesh, all eyes and cheekbones - I guess that's what photographs well for cats as well as humans. He knows he's gorgeous.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-23934254909044559622016-02-25T17:18:27.905+00:002016-02-25T17:18:27.905+00:00I wage a constant war against them - I don't k...I wage a constant war against them - I don't know where they come from, and I've got LOTS of antimoth remedies around, from pheromone traps to mothballs to in-cupboard vapourisers.

It sounds like you got it quickly under control, and if you can isolate the place where they've laid eggs, all the better. Some people swear by bay/laurel leaves, and it might not be a bad idea to use in addition to everything else. You can hang them in a sachet (out of kitten reach).

I've got moth repellent in the wardrobes, but I reckon I need to replace them with new, so thanks for reminding me.
